After a backup, the computer automatically labels your backup volumes. CMS provides the backup information in the final Acknowledgment window or, if the backup was scheduled on a timetable, in the maintenance error log.
Backup tapes can wear out. Ensure to refresh your supply of backup tapes at appropriate intervals. For more information, see the documentation that came with your backup tapes.
Note:
The machines need to have matching tape drives and the appropriate tapes for those drives.
You must have the appropriate number of tapes for the backup. When you run a manual backup, which is not a scheduled backup from a timetable, you get an acknowledgment in the Back Up Data window that tells you the number of tapes needed for a full backup. You do not need estimates for incremental backups as they fit on one tape.
