Now we need to define how tapes are added to the media pool. You can provide a more meaningful name than the default shown here. Click Add New -> GFS media pool:Ī new wizard will pop up allowing you to define the properties of the media pool. As data is transferred to the tapes they will be added to the pool. Now we’ll need to define a tape media pool for the job. That’s OK because this information will be automatically added to the job at a later stage, so at this stage we can simply click Next: Right now we haven’t specified exactly what we want copied to tape by this job. You can give the job a more meaningful name than the default shown here. In the Veeam management console use the ribbon to select Tape Job -> Backups: This may seem counter-intuitive given that this will represent a secondary destination, but we can’t create the primary backup job until a secondary target has been defined. The first thing we’ll need to do is create a new backup to tape job. Store the copies on two different media.Have at least three copies of your data.In a production environment this would be one way of achieving a 3-2-1 backup strategy:
In this post I’ll show you how to create a backup job that uses tape as a secondary backup destination.
In previous posts I showed how you how various freebie virtual tape library (VTL) solutions ( mhvtl, QuadStor VTL, StarWind VTL) can be deployed in your Veeam lab to allow you to experiment with Veeam’s tape management abilities.
