Daily full backup guidance please

Thread needs solution

I apologize in advance I am completely new to Acronis 11.5. I am having trouble wrapping my head around what I need to do to set this up, even though is seems it should be simple. So here it goes.

I want to perform a full backup daily of a server. Have that tape eject and a new one put in in the morning with a 5 tape rotation.

It is a Win 2003 server
with a RD1000 USB Drive
5x 250gb cartridges.

Any help and/or info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Troy

Hello troy rasmussen,
Hope you have installed ABR11.5 successfully. Here is how to start working with a tape device:
http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ABR11.5/index.html#14309.h…
When creating a backup plan, select the Simple backup scheme, set your backup schedule, and ensure Full is selected in Backup type.

In Backup options > Tape management, enable "Eject tapes after successful backups". You may also want to enable "Overwrite a tape in the drive when creating a full backup"

Click OK to save the backup plan.
Hope this helps.
