How can I do this with Veeam? I want that when a tape is over writable (scratched media) the job should put it to the corresponding media set In Backup Exec I never needed to first manually put that’s to a media set, this was done by the corresponding job. But which one of my two? (see above) And what exactly is on my tape if I use reversed incremental and only Full backups? The last full backup that might be a few hours or days old or will this tape back job create a synthetic full backup with the latest incrementals? First a simple selection of File, but only Files, no Exchange, SQL-Server etc. And that’s where my questions starts!Īs far as I can see I have 2 option to copy something to tape. But this Disk is also in the same physical server so it I want to use the tape to bring it to different location. With a Backupjob Job that has this GFS enabled I want to copy over only one Daily Full Backup and for the rest (last weekdays, every Friday (as Weekbackup) and 1 Friday (Monthly Backup) only incrementals. Both on my Backup Disk that is in the server (separate RAID). I made now to repositories, one for the hourly Backup during weekdays (I keep 8 Restore Point so that I can cover a full day) and another one as archive. Veeam is installed on the Hyper-V server itself. The productive VMs are running on this host. Most of my customers are all SMBs with one Server, in this case a Windows 2012 with Hyper-V.
So I had basically 3 Jobs to have this GFS Grandfather, father, son schema with 20 Tapes (Monday, Thusday, …, and Friday 1 to 4, January, February etc.) Users changed tapes and I checked that with a status mail. I defined what to backup (selection list) with which properties (job properties).
Backup exec upgrade manuals#
I read now a few times throught the manuals but I can’t find the solution to get back what I had!?
By all the nice features Veeam might have I just want to have more or less back what I had with Backup Exec. I’m a frustreted Backup Exec User that recently have switched to Veeam because Veeam now supports Tape.
