Hi team:
I have a question about the backup to tape:
I have a job that backs up vm to tape which works, however when the tape is full, it asks for a new one to continue and continues without problems. The issue happens when doing a restore since it asks for 2 tapes and my unit has 1 tape. If I have only one drive, how can I make the job detect that the tape is almost full and request a new one?
Regards,

The restore job should tell you what tape it needs first and then prompt you to insert the second tape when it needs it. I am pretty sure that is how it has been done when I have done a restore from tape that spans multiple tapes.

Yep, that is right. It should prompt for the next Tape needed to perform the restore.
I did a test using the restore content option from the Library; However, the wizard tells me that I must add all the tapes that I use for said procedure.

Yes, but you will insert whichever one it requires first then the next and so on. If you have a one tape unit you cannot put all tapes in. That would only work if you had a library for the tape unit.
