Tape • Re: Several weeks writing a weekly work tape?

Hi infrasebraego, welcome to the forums.

Can you describe a bit more on your tape-out strategy?

1. Are you using Tape GFS or just regular Backup to Tape? The behaviors are a little different, and it sounds like Backup to Tape is what you're hoping for, but if you want archival points (GFS) on tape, you will need to use Tape GFS. You mention Daily, Weekly, and Monthly, but just want to confirm if it's a Tape GFS job or multiple Backup to Tape jobs. (You can tell if the media pool you're targeting is a GFS one or a "Simple" media pool)
2. I think what you want is the Append option for GFS media pools if you're using Tape GFS; Simple Media pools have a similar option with the media set configuration "Do not create, always continue"
3. I think media sets are probably what may be unclear here for you. See our FAQ on tape here for a deeper explanation on how media sets work.

Thanks!
