Move Backup Set To Tape


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

This is my situation:

 

2 Retrospect backup servers. Server1 and Server2. Server2 has a tape unit attached

I run a daily backup to file on Server1 and I would like to transfer once a month that backup onto tape for offsite archiving.

 

Is it possible to pick up a file BackupSet and transfer its content to tape?

 

thank you

Why are you using a file backup set? I suggest you start using a disk backup set instead.

 

You can "transfer" backup sets to tape. Check the manual for "transfer".

 

yep sorry my bad

I'm using a Disk backup set actually.

 

And thanks, found it in the Help. Been looking on the internet for hours, and what I was looking for was right there in the help...

Actually the solution in the Help file seems to cover transfer in the same machine.

What I need to do is transfer this backup set to another machine.

 

When I start the transfer backup set from Server2 I can only pickup backup sets I have on Server2, while the backup set I would like to transfer is on Server1

 

is this even possible?
