Append days option--The Append days option lets you append backups to one tape for the number of days that you specify. This option helps to maximize the amount of data stored on tape, and minimize the number tapes that need to be stored relative to a job. As a best practice, you should use this option when you perform relatively small volume, daily full backups. However, you can apply this option to all custom backup schedules except for run Once backup jobs and grandfather-father-son rotation jobs.
- Default value: 6 days
- Range: 1 to 3650 days
Note: The Append days option cannot be applied to jobs where the destination device is data deduplication devices or cloud devices. In addition, with the Append days option applied to the backup, Arcserve Backup ignores the First Backup Media (global options) applied to the job. For more information about First Backup Media option, see Backup Manager Backup Media Options.
