Hello, For now I have set the status of the used tapes as ARCHIVE. And started the next backup. Post backup I could see , other tapes in the same pool were used and not the ARCHIVE ones. So now I guess I can just take out the ARCHIVE tapes out of the library , to be kept at offsite.
Thank you. Regards, Sachin -----Original Message----- From: Alan Brown [mailto:a...@mssl.ucl.ac.uk] Sent: Freitag, 9.

As long as you set the tapes to used or archive state (archive tapes won't be recycled automatically) then this will happen automatically. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
