Hello,
I have discovered that in Backup Exec 2012 that I can double click a storage group and see the backup sets.
And from here I can 'Duplicate" to tape. And when i delete the backup set, I can still still restore from tape.
But the problem is that the interface of creating the 'duplicate to tape' (from the 'backup sets' section of B. Exec) doesn't give me the opportunity to select my 10GB iSCSI network connection which would send the jobs to tape much faster than the 1GB I am getting by doing the duplicate.
So, I then try copying the .bkf files to tape....but, when I delete the backup sets to reclaim space on my disk...then a restore job no loger presents to me the files on the .bkf (Even though I go to the actual tape itself, hilight it and select "Catalog" in the menu icons up top.)
Any ideas are appreciated.
