Darell:
When a tape expires is a function of the Media Policy in force for that
save. Generally it is listed in days but can by specific date, number
of versions, or permanent as well. BRMS will not over write a tape that
is not expired.
It is possible to append one save onto the back of another save, thereby
saving tape cartridges. I like to use that feature when backing up
journals during the day (I generally will send journal receivers to tape
about every two hours depending on the load of the system) that way I
have one tape that has many receivers on it. That tape gets swapped out
per customer needs but at least weekly, usually daily.
So, the answer to your question is: "It depends".....
I think you'll find the defaults at set at a 14 day retention if you did
not change them when setting up BRMS.
