Retention rules when using tape devices
I was struggling a little with what retention rule to use when I saw total backup size. I set the value to what I wanted but realized that it is not supposed to work with tape devices:
By total size of backups
Specify the maximum total size of backups to keep.
This setting is not available with the Always incremental (single-file) backup scheme, or when backing up to the cloud storage, an SFTP server, or a tape device.
When I selected the option and saved, I did not receive an error. Does total size work with tapes or not?
Of course this is a somewhat complicated way of doing things in my situation as I am backing up 5 different jobs per tape. My understanding is the total size is per job, not per tape....

Hi
Clean up rule "By total size of backups" is not working for tapes, that's why this limitation is mentioned in the documentation. In future versions we will hide this rule if cloud storage, SFTP or tape device is selected (internal ID: ABR-120459).
