When the tape is ejected from the tape device there are some manual
configurations that must be applied before the backup can proceed when i
insert a new tape (or the same tape). If I do not go through the manual
selection of the destination and backup media or file name, the scheduled
backup does not occur. is that right? is this by design?
I am thinking that I am doing something wrong. If i have two tapes, a and b,
and I eject tape a, insert tape b, then i have to reconfigure the backup
destination and backup media or file name. Is that right? If i were to name
the backup media or file name the same on each tape then should i be able to
eject tape b and insert tape a without the "re-selection".
I am thinking that becuase the backup is "scheduled" to occur at the same
time everyday that somehow the media is going to be "auto-windowcally"
recognized. However everytime i remove a tape and insert a new tape i have
to go through this process of reconfiguration, even if i am ejecting and
inserting the same tape. is that right?
I would like to implement the practice of removing the tape everyday and
storing in a secure location however the complication of reconfiguration is
making me wonder if i should bother. When i leave the same tape in there
everyday then the backup occurs right on shedule and i don't have to
configure anything. The problem is that the tape remains in the device. If
the building burns down or something then so does my backup.
