I need a solution
I'm using Backup Exec 2012 to backup the files and vms. Current backup plan is backup to dedup disk then to tape. My autoloader has partittion configured.
partition 1 is from slot 1 to 3 (daily backup)
partition 2 is slot 4 (monthly Backup)
partition 3 is slot 5 (empty slot)
partition 4 is slot 6 and 7 (VM backup)
partition 5 is slot 8 ( cleaning tape)
The overwrite protection for tape is set to 2 weeks and append is infinite.
What happens if the tape have been written 60% and the following backup job to the tape needs more than 40% of the tape capacity. Let's say the overwrite protection for the tape is over.
Does it delete the exisiting data on the tape before running the backup job?
