Completed backup not exiting 1

[billycairn]

Hi
I'm running 8.6 on a Dell Poweredge W2K Server, backing up to and internal Super DLT.

The problem is that after the disks have been successfully backed up, the scheduled job fails to exit/hangs and ends up being marked as cancelled when the nightly reboot kicks in. A verify of the tape next morning is always successful.
Originally I thought it was the "verify after backup" that was hanging, but having disabled that option the job still hangs.
The tape is using the Veritas drivers.

Anyone any experience with this/suggestions?

there is a media alert waiting for you to press OK - check in the alerts tab - its the one for ejecting media after the backup.

To do this automatically, follow this technote from Veritas-

Thanks Justin. Done the mods, might be able to kick a backup off early, after the training session finishes. Until then....

Justin you're a star. First error free backup since the roll back to 8.6. Thanks a lot.
