If my tapelist consists of 20 tapes will it rotate the index files after every rotation? I am currently using 2 sets of 20 tapes,that are labeled the same Tape-1 through Tape-20. Once I reach Tape-20 on the first set I rotate the entire set and replace with the other set's Tape-1. The tape set is then taken offsite until the new set gets to Tape-20. Running some amrecovers, a setdate command seems to only allow me to go back 20 days.
If this is the case is there another means to provide offsite storage of tapes and keep 40 days of indexes? I know I could create 2 configs to support this, but I don't want to have to worry about our tape handler forgetting to bring in the next set and messing things up. Currently, if they are forgotten we just use the Tape-1 from the current set. Granted it defeats the purpose of offsite backups, but it keeps things working. Perhaps I could have a script that runs once I get to the Tape-20 and save the logs to another location if I need to get an offsite tape to do the restore. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Shawn
