CMS Backup Strategy A-2
You should have the appropriate number of tapes for the backup. When
you run a manual backup (not from a timetable), you get an
acknowledgment in the Back Up Data window that tells you the number
of tapes needed for a full backup. (Incremental backups should fit on 1
tape so no estimate is needed.)
