DPM Storage Pool Question...

[bandgeekmafia78]

Hi

 

I am about to attach a LTO-4 tape autoloader to my Backup Server which runs DPM 2007.

 

I was just wondering - if I was to perform backups straight to tape would it still want me to create a storage pool?

 

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Alan

 

I've never tired that before, but looking at the wizard if you were to set the protection to be long term only, I dont see why it would create a storage pool.

 

Hope this helps

Cheers. I'll give it a go. Main problem is that the HDD is quite small so I can't really afford to create a storage pool.
