I have to remember to get into Tape Infrastructure and mark tape a free to clear it. How about add the feature into the tape backup job? Every other backup I ever used from Arcserve, Symantec, Linux based had this feature.
Question
File to Tape full backup how about add automatic mark tape as free
+5I don’t believe there is any setting for automatically clearing the contents of a tape.
If a tape in a media pool’s retention is expired (and all tapes dependent on it), then it will be used in subsequent backup jobs automatically. This is only within the same Media Pool, it does not get moved to the Free Media Pool automatically.
+8Hi
My Script that i have written about in this article takes expired Tapes and put them back into the free Pool. If you let it run as an scheduled job it would be some kind of automatism I guess.
