Hi,

Recently I installed the BkupExec 12 on my server (w2k3) and the tape driver is a Library (IBM-3580). So I configured all the software, but yesterday I was looking the log and I saw that the Job1 write in a one tape and the Job2 write in a another tape (different from the first one).

Configuration of the jobs

Job1 : time execution (Start no ealier than 02:00 am and no later than 03:00 am)

Device : All Devices (SERVER33)

Media Set : Differential

When the jobs begin : Overwrite the media

Backup method : Differential using archive bit (don't reset archive bit)

Job2 : time execution (Start no ealier than 03:00 am and no later than 06:00 am)

Device : All Devices (SERVER33)

Media Set : Differential

When the jobs begin : Append to media, overwrite if no appendable media is avaible

                              Eject the media after job completes

                              Retension media before backup

Backup method : Differential using archive bit (don't reset archive bit)

So the 'Media Set' was created as follows:

Differential: Overwrite protecion period: 4 days / Append period: None (Infinite Allow Append)

I need the two jobs writes on the same media without in an overwrite in the other, is it possible?

Note: I have two jobs because the first one is for the SourceSafe and the second is for the Files.

Thanks for the attention.

Yours sincerly,

Vinicius Deschamps
