Hi all,
having a problem with my weekly duplicate backups to my robotic library and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Job configuration:
"Duplicate", Source:"Most recent full backup", Storage: "IBM Tape library", Media Set: "3 weeks".
Media set configuration:
Overwrite protection period: "3 weeks"
Append peroid" Infinite - Allow append"
Each week im replacing the weekly tapes with new ones and associate the new tapes with this mediaset.
So hm, and here's my problem: When the job begoíns to run, it says that no overwritable media can be found. As I understand, the "Allocated Date" begins from the time on the media is associated with the mediaset. So the overwrite protection is from this time on 3 weeks. So my backups never start...
But how do I have to set up my mediaset? I want that the backup files on tape are protected for at least 3 weeks and can be appendable infinite. So when the tape is full within these 3 weeks, the robotic library uses the next tape. At the moment I associate the tapes withe the mediaset "Scratch Media" and this helps me out at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
Sven
