HI,
Yupp you are right about backup day. You can find out
on backup/restore interface. I checked that just now
and thank you for remind me of that. How could I
forget this.
Duplication sound good to me as I have 2 tape drives
on our tape library and ONLY use 1 tape drive for
backup. Somebody told me I need to buy an extra
license to use duplicate backup (NO budget for extra
license). Is this true? If not true, how do I
duplicate this tape? Do I need to wait after the
backup finish? Or can I run it simultaneously?
Thank again for duplication idea.
regards,
feroz
