Multiple Tapes for daily backup

[martinwendel]

It means after 3days tape will became scratch now what should I do and how should I increase to keep the backups for one month?

You need to check that your copygroups allow at least 14 versions of each file for backups to not expire and also set 'high migration pct' to 100% in the stgpool to make sure data on tapes are not reorganised.

Beware that when all tapes are filled, you must start to delete tape volumes to be able to make a new backup.

BTW. Do read the redbook linked in LED888's post.

Yes, sorry. It should be reclaim, set it to 100. I'm a little tired today...
