Tape-related backup options

You can configure the Tape management backup options to determine:

  • Whether to enable file recovery from disk-level backups stored on tapes.
  • Whether to return tapes back to slots after protection plan completion.
  • Whether to eject tapes after backup completion.
  • Whether to use a free tape for each full backup.
  • Whether to overwrite a tape when creating a full backup (for stand-alone tape drives only).
  • Whether to use tape sets to differentiate tapes used, for example, for backups created on different days of week or for backups of different machine types.
