Hi,

I am trying to replicate my production to virtual on vm, added the tape driver, now i need to know what media type to i need to set the virtual tape library to.

I am using Veritas Backup Exec 10d (old); Also how cam i add multiple tapes tot he library with a Backup strategy of Daily Differential, Weekly Full, and Monthly Full, to a total of 8 tapes.

So if any guidance would be appreciated

Please refer to the following technical document: http://www.starwindsoftware.com/tape-dr ... ackup-exec

I have tried the guide, but its not mentioned in the guide.

STarWind VTA doens`t allow you to create library of tapes, only tape arrays. So here you have either create 8 tape drives or load 8 tapes to one drive when you need.
