I am trying to understand how I can backup a SMHV backup/snapshot to tape.
We would like to configure a backup job on our backup server to always backup the volume with snapshot called (for example) "SMHV_Backup_00". However, I tried running the following PShell command just to see what it would do:
New-Backup -Server ClusterServer1 -Dataset Set06 -PolicyId Set06 -BackupName BackupThisUpToTape
It created a SMHV Snapshot which I see in the SMHV console called: "Backup Name: BackupThisUpToTape_02-03-2010_16.39.50"
And the name of the Volume Snapshot is totally randomized. I cannot just schedule a volume snapshot alone to tape since I specifically need the one SMHV used to properly backup the VMs using VSS.
How can I do this, or is there a better way that I am missing to backup VMs using SMHV to tape?
Also, does this process also hold true for other products, like SM for SQL/Exchange?
Thanks!
