Hi,
We use a tape library as DR. It’s configured to only keep one full backup of servers, shares etc.
Now I noticed that it doesn’t release tapes though there’re a lot newer backups for the shares or servers.
To check it I’ve viewed the tape and what’s not greyed out.
Then I checked the fullbackups for that share/server/db etc. and used view media for the fullbackups.
Questions:
- When checking a subclients full backups and viewing media and it then shows a couple of tapes. Does that mean that the full backup does exist on those tapes or does it also show those tapes regardless if the backup is partially or fully on the tapes?
- Is there a job that we can run to correct and release these tapes if they already should have been released since there already exist newer backups on tape?
