I just need to clean out the old media sets and make sure that the correct tapes backup at the correct time. Now that I have ironed out these errors and I understand how it all works, I can say with %100 confidence that the system is running correctly. Having a bad tape in the library also caused it to lock up and become unresponsive, so that’s another trip to the server room and a reboot of the library. Great huh? Granted that the device doesn’t have a mechanism for ejecting the tapes out of the library, but seriously. While it may not happen for everyone, I also experienced what happens when you have the Eject tape after completion option ticked in Backup Exec 2010 R3, and that is it causes the library to lock up and needs a reboot to get it back into working order.

Sometimes you think “This should be pretty simple” and “I know how Backup Exec works, I’ve configured it dozens of times in the past”, but you know what? You’re wrong!Īdding a tape library really makes a big difference compared to how you would normally configure a 1 tape drive system. *This is a repost of a older blog post on my personal WordPress site*
