Currently I am saving my logs on a local drive of the backup server. I want to archive my logs to tape monthly and keep them there forever.
The logs on local drive of the backup server will be deleted as needed (in case space runs low).
I don't want to do the full backup to tape every month because that 90% of the logs already backed up last month.
So, I tried monthly full to disc (different volume on backup server) - retention 2 days
Then, same date, run monthly incremental to tape - retention = not allowed overwrite, appendable.
Not sure if this works if I do full to disc and incremental to tape.
After my first try today, the full to disc ran successfully (see data), the incremental to tape ran successfully (352 byes count) but don't see any data, <-- this is not my goal.
