Migrate to automated library and barcodes

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I've been using Retrospect with a stand alone LTO 4 drive on my desktop and backing up to tapes. All working fine.

 

I work in TV so all of my individual projects are on a server in their own shares, and I connect to that folder as a network drive (just so you know all my backups are per share)

 

I've now got myself a Dell TL2000 tape library with an LTO 5 drive and barcode scanning. I've put 5 new LTO 5 tapes with barcodes in and its all working niceley backing up my new network shares.

 

I've only used it for new projects that weren't backed up by the old system. Is it possible to add some of the old archives to the new tape library? Ie i have some ongoing work that's backed up, but I'd like to put the last tape of the old backup into my new library (with a new barcode) and continue backing up where it left off.

 

Essentially, can you add a barcode to an existing tape?

 

Probably not possible but I thought I'd throw it out there...
