Limitations
Limitations of tape library usage are the following:
1. The consolidation (p. 343) operation is not possible for archives located on tapes. Deletion of a
single separate backup is impossible from a tape. It is possible to delete all the backups stored on
a tape. However, after this operation all the incremental and differential backups, stored on
other tapes and based on the deleted backups, cannot be used for data recovery. In a Custom
backup plan's retention rules the If deletion of a backup affects other backups > Consolidate the
backup option is disabled. Only the Postpone the deletion option is available.
