Hi folks!
Last night's backup stopped halfway through the process, asking for a
new tape. I was told by the previous sysadmin that the tapes should
"eat their own tails" and not ask for a new tape, but this is the
first time that we've hit the end of the tape in our new set of
backup tapes.
I don't know a lot about this, but should the tape do this? Is there
a setting in Retrospect to make it to this, or do I need to actually
start using another tape/set?
I'm using a DDS-3 APS tape drive, and just upgraded to Retrospect
4.3. We have a two-week tape rotation set, using a different tape for
each night Monday-Friday. On Friday we do a full backup set, with
incrementals during the week. The laptops are on their own backup
server set during the day.
Sorry about the newbie-type question, but I still don't have the hang
of this. :)
