Allow mixed media in one backup set


trg

Recommended Posts

It would be nice if I could mix DAT and CD-RW media in one backup set.

 

 

 

I would do new-media backups of all volumes to DAT. My DAT drive can store 4-8 GB per tape, which is a much greater capacity than CD-RW discs, and allows more unattended operation. On the other hand, CD-RW is cheaper and faster, making it better for subsequent daily incremental backups which fit easly on one disc.

Thank you for your suggestion. Retrospect does not currently have the function to have a mixed media backupset. I have noted this suggestion.

 

 

 

We do have a function to add a backup set to another type of media backupset. In Retrospect, under Tools/Copy/Transfer you can transfer your CD backupset to your Tape backupset.
