I am not quite sure how to configure them. We have 2 schemes (corresponding to two Datastores):
One is
Monday: 4 rotating tapes: Week 1/Week2/Week3/Week4
Tuesday: 1 Tape
Wendsday: 1 Tape
Thursday: 1 Tape
Friday: 3 rotating Tapes
Second Drive:
Every Monday -
* On the first Monday a Month we have a Tape that will not be overwritten for a year. Except the January Tape we keep forever.
* The other Mondays we Rotate Tape Week 1 - 4
I do not really need Proxmox to force me to use the correct Tapes, I would be content if it uses whatever is currently in the drive. should I therefore use 2 Pools (one for each drive) and just say: allocation policy always and overwrite and let one run daily and one weekly?
Would there be any merrit to splitting the pools and jobs to weekdays?
