Multiple retentions per volume is a global parameter in 5.1 that is only on the master. It would be nice if it were a media server option, but in 5.1 it is global. If it were a media server option, then both sides of the aisle would be happy. Bobby Williams 2205 Peterson Drive Chattanooga, Te

Granted, you are correct and the opposite could also be true. My 5 year backup could start on the last part of tape number one, fill tape number 2 and part of number 3. That would be terribly inefficient given that yes, I'm now offsiting three tapes instead of two. That has to be managed, and

You do realize that the opposite is true, in that by allowing mixed retentions in this way, you are also allowing as little as a few block of 5 year retention data to be written to the end of a 400Gig tape full of 2-3 week retention data. So that Tape which could go back to scratch after 2 weeks i

Whoa there tiger. Keeping different retentions on different volume polls is NOT the way to go IMO. If you have 20 GB of data that must be kept offsite for infinity you are already losing 1 tape "forever," why not put more data on it? Sure, you could keep that tape in the bot and keep writing to
