Veeam Backup & Replication - How to setup a preferred Transport Mode

[@Drusher10]

I have a question: What is the different of setting tapes to export automatically vs export them manually? I mean isn`t more practical and efficient if you just never export the tapes though?

[@cristiantonio387]

From the ease of management standpoint, sure, but tapes are about security - physical and data. A tape in slot/drive is one that an attacker can erase or overwrite! And it can take seconds with Short-Erase. So, for management purposes it might be more convenient, but we strongly recommend export tapes and have a sufficient number of tapes to rotate out. This helps to protect against malicious attackers and force majeure events if you offsite the tapes (even if it's just someone takes the tapes home in a sealed briefcase)
