Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Archive incremental backups to tape

Hi Oliver,

File to Tape is probably still going to be best for this particular tape-out strategy, but as noted this depends a bit on your retention.

Is the option under tapejop -> options -> advanced -> advanced -> process latest backup chain only the solution for it?
or
Medie Pool --> Media Set --> Create new media set for every backup session.

Unfortunately no as noted above.

I think maybe I'm misunderstanding your point here:

> I looking for a possibilty to save always all inkremental on tape that has been created after the last full backup.

With backup to tape, it will work as I noted above, and each subsequent run will simply add whatever is on repository and not yet on tape. You will end up with the full chain on a single tape at the end of the week if you configure the media set creation to create a new media set on Friday; is that your goal or you want truly a new tape for each day with the Full + all increments on repository?
