Managing Tapes

On a stand-alone tape drive, DPM will use the same tape for daily backups of a specific

protection group until there is insufficient space on the tape.

If a backup job requires more space than is available on a single tape, the job will begin, and then

DPM will display an alert that a job is waiting for tape when you need to remove the full tape and

add a blank tape.

DPM will not append backups from different protection groups on the same tape.

If your tape library does not have an IE port, you must select the library on the Library tab in

the Management task area, click Unlock library door, physically add or remove the tape, and
