HI,

My setup:
2 scheduled snapshots, every day (01:30 and 13:30)
+
Internal replication, every hour, every day

Both works fine, now I want to setup a scheduled tape backup task:
5 tapes (mo - fr.)
Every week (fr) I wanna make a full backup and the other ones should be differential.

Regarding to this (open-e doc):
'It is not possible to perform data replication and backup at the same time. Backup has higher priority then data replication. When scheduled concurrently with backup and using snapshots from the same logical volume, data replication will be stopped. You will see a snapshot error in the Data replication status field, because snapshots cannot be used twice at the same time if they are set to the same logical volume. '

So, the worst case is that I lost one replication task, in my case one hour and two ours later the replication starts again with eg. more date to replicate? In my case a kind of cosmetic error, especially If schedule the tape backup at night?

Or does the tape backup does not affect/kill the replication if the tape backup using there own snapshots?

Best,
T.
