Tape Retention / Rewrite start with incremental Backup

[SuperSAN]

If you are goin to start this fresh make sure that the tapes are clean. For the tapes size, it depends on your backup.

I found the the best way to overcome problems is to make many tapes with small
retention times and configure full backup every week.

Thanks.

Now we are using the following solution...

- 2 Tapes.
- no "use tape only once".
- Tape Size Limit: larger than for 1 week necessary.
- Tape retention 1 week.

-> In my opinion this solution wasts a lot of storage but it works...
