Daily job blocked 13 days beetween backup & verify

[pondi]

Hello,

I'm running a daily job on a file server, when a job fail I receive a notification. But this time I had a job blocked 13 days beetween Backup and Verify and I didn't get any message. Moreover, tapes have been changed daily during this period. What I saw is that the verify started when I put the same tape that was used for the backup exactly 2 weeks before (I'm using 14 tapes: M1/TU1/W1/TH1/F1/SA1/SU1 and M2/TU2/W2/TH2/F2/SA2/SU2) This is ths log:

Backup completed on 7/7/2004 at 5:04:11 PM.

Do you have any idea of what could have happened, how could I be aware in the future of this without making a manual check. I'm running about 20 servers like this one.

Thanx.
Alex

Turn off Verify. It is more trouble than it is worth. If you want to check your backups do some random restores from the tapes periodically. But trying to get Verify to work is a battle you will lose, just turn it off.
