User`s guide

This option determines the program behavior when any of the backup plan's tasks fails.

The preset is not to restart a failed task.

The program will try to execute the failed task again if you select the Restart a failed task check box

and specify the number of attempts and the time interval between the attempts. The program stops

trying as soon as an attempt completes successfully OR the specified number of attempts is

performed, depending on which comes first.

If the task fails because of a mistake in the backup plan, you can edit the plan while the task is in the Idle state.

While the task is running, you have to stop it prior to editing the backup plan.

3.4.1.20 Tape support

These options are effective when the backup destination is a managed vault located on a tape

library.

Tape support options enable you to specify how the backup tasks will distribute backups among the

tapes.

Some combinations of tape options might degrade usage efficiency of both the whole tape library and each

tape. If you are not forced to modify these options by some specific needs, leave them unchanged.

An archive can occupy several tapes. In such cases a so-called tape set is used for keeping the data

backups.

Tape set is a logical group of one or more tapes which contain backups of the specific protected

data. A tape set can contain backups of other data as well.

Separate tape set is a tape set which contains only backups of the specific protected data. Other

backups cannot be written to a separate tape set.

(For the backup policy/plan to be created) Use a separate tape set

The preset is: Disabled.

If you leave this option unchanged, then the backups, belonging to the policy or plan being created,

might be written onto tapes containing backups written by different backup policies and comprising

of data from different machines. Similarly, backups from other policies might be written onto the

tapes containing this policy's backups. You will not have a problem with such tapes, as the program

manages all the tapes automatically.
