Multiple drive backup (VXA RakPak)


Recommended Posts

Multiple drive backup - aka sequential - aka spanning

 

 

 

Does both Desktop and Workgroup have the ability to span mulitiple drives using Retrospect v5 with OS X Server 10.2.x? Is there a setting to turn on or is it supposed to automatically go to the second drive attached when the first tape is filled up?

 

 

 

I am trying to use a VXA-1 two drive RakPak (rather unsuccessfully right now).

 

 

 

Thx

Retrospect cannot currently utilize more then one drive within the same library. When a tape fills in an autoloader configuration, Retrospect will look for (and load) a blank tape into the same drive. Automatic detection of tapes is the default behavior in an automated backup. If you are running Immediate Backups, you'll need to configure the Control menu (available when an immediate operation is running) to "Run Unattended."
