Always use a free tape
By default, the software tries to write a backup onto a tape containing backups of the same backup
chain or archive. If not found, the software searches for a tape of the same tape set. (Tape sets can
be determined by tape pools, by the Use a separate tape set for each single machine option or by
the Grandfather-Father-Son (p. 65) or Tower of Hanoi (p. 71) backup schemes.) If a tape of the same
tape set is not found, the software will try to use a free tape.
You can force using a free tape by changing the following settings.
For each full backup
The preset is: Disabled.
When this option is enabled, each full backup will be written onto a free tape.
For each differential backup (not applicable when backing up Exchange data)
The preset is: Disabled.
When this option is enabled, each differential backup will be written onto a free tape. In addition,
each full backup will be written onto a free tape. The For each full backup check box becomes
selected and disabled.
For each incremental backup (or transaction log backup when backing up Exchange data)
The preset is: Disabled.
When this option is enabled, each incremental backup will be written onto a free tape. In addition,
each full backup and each differential backup will be written onto a free tape. The For each full
backup and For each differential backup check boxes become selected and disabled.
Overwrite a tape in the drive when creating a full backup
The preset is: Disabled.
The option applies only to stand-alone tape drives. When this option is enabled, a tape inserted into
a drive will be overwritten every time a full backup is created.
