BAckup Exec Backup-to-disk settings with disk and tape in one device pool
I have a instance of Backup Exec 11d running in which I'm trying to configure one backup to use a device pool of a NAS share and a Tape drive to run one backup job per night for 5 days a week.
My goal is to have 5 backup to disk files on the NAS and then one backup per tape each night.
What I'm getting is 81 backup to disk files per night and only a successful tape eject command.
The backup is successful but only to the disk shaare and no data is being saved to the tapes.
It also seems that backup exec has stopped picking up new tapes when we insert them.
What am I doing wrong? and what information can I provide that could help you help me?
