Information Anesthetic: Taking the Pain out of Backup

Simon Jelley
Symantec Employee

CraigV commented on: Restore and Backup of multiple file versions

Hi, No way to keep a history of files if you're restoring to a single location. What you can do is the following: 1. Create a couple of B2D folders locally on your server. 2. When duplicating tape 1 to disk, choose B2D 1, etc. for however many B2Ds you create. 3. Backup the data in the B2Ds to your new LTO5 tape. THanks!
