Hi,

That's the correct setting, but if you don't have media to overwrite or the drive is full, you'll get that message.

Make sure the Append/OPP settings on your media sets are correct.

Thanks!

Hello Team

After having deployed the solutions as recomended I still find myself unable to perform a backup to my media .

I have been successful in backing up to a HDD on the iSCSI box with no issues but as te space there is limited I needed to backup the data to the external storage drives but this is yet to happen.

I have attached screendumps to show the stste of the configs and the hardware available.

Please assist

I think you have to create normal B2D folder on external hard disk instead of creating Removable B2D.

...what are your B2D settings?

Hello

Please see config for one of the B2D locations in the screenshot below;

OK, so your first (quite serious) issue is the fact that you have set your B2D file @ 900GB. If that file corrupts, you're going to see all your data corrupted too, and you're probably not going to be able to restore anything out of it.

The default is 4GB...set it to that first, and then try running the backup again. With the B2D file size set@ 900GB, and the B2D only being able to store 910GB, this could be the reason why you're getting your issue.

Make that change, and then try again.

You can always increase the size of the B2D files a bit, but don't make them too big as you will run the risk of not being able to restore anything in the case of a file corruption!

Thanks!
