Tape questions
Posted: 14 Feb 2011, 20:10
Hello,
I have two questions regarding tape management. One, after I have created my protection groups and backup jobs in DPM and set them for long term retention to tape, how do I monitor the available space on the tapes I created? Is there a way to tell if the tapes are almost used up and I need to create more tapes? Also, I set a long term retention range to tape in DPM of 5 years, is there a way to make sure the tapes will not be overwritten by another backup job for 5 years?
Thanks!
