GerryRigney Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hi all We have retro 7 backing up to 800GB tapes on a hp tape drive. Our backup operator noticed an error one morning and when he said ok to it retrospect asked for a new tape. It did this a couple of times on a couple of differnt backup sets. Now we are having "communication" problems with the drive so today amongst other things I ran a "verify media" this reported that there is only 300Gb used over the 2 tapes. Is there any way to get back to a single tape by "combining" the two ? thanks for any feedback gerryR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 You would need to do a backup set transfer to a 3rd tape. This will require 2 tape drives to run the transfer operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryRigney Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Thanks for the reply Mayoff, guess we'll have to stick with the 2 tapes !! cheers gerryR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
