NovaBACKUP PC/Server/BE v19.x and newer
Question:
Is there a way to add the media to be backed up to a pool once or similarly, so that backups are made to any media in the pool?
It must be possible to trace which medium was backed up on which day.
Answer:
No, this is not possible with the SMB products NovaBACKUP PC/Server/BE. If you have a backup job written to changing media, the media view under "Restore" always reflects the content of the last (most current) tape.
If you want to recover from a previous (older) tape, you must import it first. Alternatively, you can create one full backup job per day (Mon, Tue, Wed etc.) and configure it to "Overwrite". Enter the appropriate names for the backup job, the media name and the schedule, e.g. for Monday:
Name of the backup: Mo
Media name: Mo
Scheduling name: Mo
etc.
You should then label the media accordingly.
