This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi all

This software worked without problem before 3 days. Problem is next:
We made plan every day backup-job at 22:00. Job start OK but after 2 hours (about 84GB) we need to insert new tape (all backup is about 320GB and tape more than 380GB). When we start manually job everything is OK, but with scenario every day at 22:00 nope.
We are using Windows SBS 2003 and Backup Exec 10d. Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks for any help and suggestion

Dragan

Hi Dragan, What is your

Hi Dragan,

What is your overwrite protection set too? Does it overwrite new/overwritable media, or is it set to append? If it's set to append, it's going to have an appendable time in days/hours etc attached too this. The tape won't be overwritten until it's protection level is ended, but it will append to the tape until such time.
I personally choose to overwrite the media.
Take a look at those job properties, specifically around the above. If possible, you can post a screenshot of what your settings are and we can take it from there in the forum.

Laters!
