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

                          Tape 📼 Improvements

 TAPE CLONING !!!
Â
-
Allows us to Migrate from old LTO to newer tapes generations -
Additional copy for security reasons

Â
You can Copy from one drive to other drive via tape serverYou can Modify database and link old backups with new tapesYou can Preserve link for old tapesFile parts are detected and prompt for additional tape

Â
 Note:
Veeam can clone all Veeam tapes (B2T, F2T, NDMP), Veeam Can't do it for 3rd party tapes.
Â
Â
 What you need to know ![]()
Requires at least two drivesRestore selects automatically the needed tape if several copies existNo scheduler (use PowerShell)One media pool still does only allow one LTO generation
