sussox Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 In the lack of a manual...... Is it possible to backup to a new member (or set) without backing up the entire volume again? Ive tried to "skip to new member" and "skip to new set" but then it wants to copy the entire 1.2TB volume (not good) I want to archive the old set and continue on a new one without copying all data again.. Possible? Another question, the old set has 3 members, but the "-" sign is grayed out on two of the three so i cant remove them after having archived them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Going to a new set will always make it recopy the files. When you go to a new member, it will only copy new or changed files. You must keep entire media sets intact. you should not be deleting or removing files from the hard disk manually. That will corrupt the media set.

sussox Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 So, what then would be the correct procedure for archiving older backup and continue to just backup new and changed files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussox Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Anyone? This information should be included in the manual i think. If there will be one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussox Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Also.. I can't skip to a new member on the same volume. (This disk is already a member of this media set) But it not consequent, i think it might have worked sometime, but defenetly not now when im triying. Should there really be this kind of limitations when people use huge network-volumes to backup to. As this works I can only have one member of the script on my 8TB backup-volume. Makes rotating/archiving backupmembers impossible. I would have to remove the old members, but I cant do that because (as I wrote earlier) they are grayed out.. This sucks.

sussox Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I now managed to create a new member, but it had to be done in a new folder on the same volume (some clarification of the error message above would greatly improve the understanding of what can and cant be done) But the problem with deleting members remains..
