Incremental backups using one tape
Updated: 11 May 2012 | 1 comment
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Software: Backup Exec 2010 R3 on Windows 2008 Server
Backup drive: IBM Ultrium LTO 5
Is it possible to have BE make incremental backups using one tape? The typical size of data backed up incrementally is 60GB. Rather than use a different LTO4 (800GB) tape for each day, can BE make incremental backups Monday thru Thursday on one tape?
Thanks.

Yes, you can append backups
Yes, you can append backups to tape.
Configure your incremental jobs to append to tape and configure media set with enough Append period (4 days).
