When I thought the tape was forgotten :scream:...  Veeam brings us these improvements that I think are excellents! :nerd:

 

                                                   Tape 📼 Improvements

:red_circle: TAPE CLONING !!!

 

  • Allows us to Migrate from old LTO to newer tapes generations

  • Additional copy for security reasons

 

  • You can Copy from one drive to other drive via tape server
  • You can Modify database and link old backups with new tapes
  • You can Preserve link for old tapes
  • File parts are detected and prompt for additional tape

 

:raised_hand: Note:

Veeam can clone all Veeam tapes (B2T, F2T, NDMP), Veeam Can't do it for 3rd party tapes.

 

 

:diamonds: What you need to know :writing_hand:

  • Requires at least two drives
  • Restore selects automatically the needed tape if several copies exist
  • No scheduler (use PowerShell)
  • One media pool still does only allow one LTO generation

 

:white_check_mark:What do you think of this improvement?

 

 

 

This function was really missing up to now.

Fine that the tape support is still improved.

Isn’t it also possible to consolidate more tapes to less? for example a bunch of LTO-3 to a single LTO-9?

You are right @vNote42 ,
something like a reclamation to combine the data from 2 or more tapes with a lower filling level to one tape would be nice.

As a Pro-Tape guy, this feature brings joy to me! and thanks for covering it in detail.
