Hello,

We have 5 servers conntected to a san and 1 shared tape robot with 2 drives also connected to the same san.
1 server has been setup as Central Admin and we have the SAN SSO and LEO options installed.
We are using 6 backup tape sets.
Every other week, we are using a new set of tapes.

What's the best way to proceed.

Do I configure partions to assign a number of slots to a certain server ?
Any advice ?


regards,
T.

Hello Tom,

In the backup job properties you have the choice to specify the device to backup to.If you create partitions, the backup job can be directly to a specific partition. One partition can contain as many slots as you wish. The job will search for a tape only in the slots that are included in that partition.

- The caso option also enables you to delegate the job to one of the MMS servers.
