Move tape drive to a new library This seemed simple enough when I started… ;) I’ve got a number of policies reflecting differing retention times (1 month retention for 1 month, 1 month each for 12 months, quarterly and a yearly). Dealing with disks, this is great, for the most part as the Dedupe never seems to grow tired of how much I torture it. However, I’m finding that when I got to tape, we’re seeing jobs go to varying tape media. One thing I’d like to hammer home, however, is that yearly backups are separate from anything else. I don’t need something with a retain until being 2030 and something else on the same tape being 2023. We have three tapes drives in our robot, I’d like to just spin one off and let it deal with the yearlies. We have over 700 servers, so it’ll have more than enough use from the beginning of the year until around tax time. First - is there a better way to handle this? I know there are methods with policy names, combining streams, and multiplexing,
