Helo Everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to merge the backup jobs of 2 cartridges on a single.

i know is possible to copy data to a new tape but any information about merging.

Thanks.

Regards.

Hey @virgil , thanks for the question!

There absolutely is; it’s called a Media Refresh:

This feature does exactly what you are looking for: the process takes unaged jobs across tapes in a Copy and consolidates them to fewer tapes.

Let me know if that provides what you’re looking for!
