Hi.

i fiddled around with the options but couldnt find anything that would do the monthly to tape only. it seems either all or nothing to tape...

Yes, it's impossible. You can't have alternate backup destinations within one backup plan ('dual destination' feature, too, if turned on, can only copy all performed backups to the 'second' location)

Hmm, sounds like a pretty big requirements gathering glitch.

would you please consider adding it to future releases ?

Hello Christian and dev-anon,

Thank you for your posts and your kind assistance dev-anon.

Christian, dev-anon is absolutely right, this feature is not available in our current version. I will submit your request to our Customer Listening System and forward it to our Program Management team.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

If you have additional questions, please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi,

so if I wanted to have daily incremental on disk and a monthly on tape, how would I go about a configure this ?

I would also like to have the monthly append to the same tape until its full. currently it seems that I have to overwrite the tape every time and also acknowledge that manually.

anyway to set the tape to append ?

cheers

Hi,

are there any changes to make disk to disk to tape possible in version 11 ?
Id still would like to have daily / weekly backups on disk and then then only send the monthly backup to tape.

best regards
Christian
