I have an interesting question. I am also fairly new to Backup exec
Background:
I am doing incremental backups daily and full backups File servers on Saturdays and SQL Sundays. While the full backups are running I am doing incremental as well. I have 2 drives so this should not be an issue. I also just recently switch from LTO 4 to LTO 6. I am only using 2 tapes. 1 for the incremental and 1 for the fulls as the data cant fill one tape(LTO6). I have set media for full and incremental for tracking purposes.
Situation:
At some point late in the week Friday night or early Saturday I have an incremental backup that is changing my Full tape to incremental. Therefore killing all my full backups for the weekend.
I have limited tapes so I want to keep my tapes to 2 a week. I have tried a different combination of setting for media and can not seem to get this to stop.
Any Help is appreciated.
