Hi,
We use DPM 2010 with a tape library with 22 tapes. We have a second server with tape library on another site, so we don't switch tapes.
At the moment there are 2 tapes that don't have the 'Offsite Ready' state. But i don't want DPM to write to those tapes anymore. Can I force the tapes to the 'Offsite ready' state?
The reason for this..... All my backups fit to 1 tape. But at the moment DPM starts with the last tape, fills that one up, and writes the last 2 protection groups to a new tape. I want to break that cycle, and force DPM to start with a new tape. In that way every day backups use a single tape.
