I'm running ARCserve 2000 SP4 on a SAN-attached W2K server, to which is connected a Compaq ESL9198DLX library with 4 Compaq DLT8000 40/80 tape drives.
Also attached to the SAN and backed up as clients are 4 W2K servers, each with a copy of ARCserve 2000 SP4, SAN agents, Tape Library Options, the whole nine yards.
There is a properly-defined primary member on the SAN.
Last Friday I had to reinstall ARCserve on the primary due to insurmountable database issues. Once I completed the reinstallation and reapplied the SP and agents, I set up my backup and watched it kick off.
However, this morning the job was still running, looking for additional blank tapes, and we could see that it was no longer using compression. I've done the CA thing about loading a blank tape into a drive, but the options to compress, retension, etc., remain greyed out.
If anyone has seen this before or has any ideas, I'd appreciate it...
