Hi there,
I have three servers that i backup them every day to an HP LTO-1 Ultrium. Im using 200GB tape.
The data that im backing up is about 130GB.
I'm monitoring the server remotely and i dont have access to the server remotely because of the company policy so i recieve daily reports about the server status.
Anything wrong i have to go personaly.
I've been recieving following error for the last three days.
Media mount failed.
User cnceled a phisical volume library operation.
v-79-57344-33861.
I'm new to the backup principles. but i did my best to search the problem cause.
I'm suspecting that this error is because of the tape is full. But it also might be a buffer problem since i backup three servers.
if the problem is the tape, then i know the easiest solution is to buy a bigger tape drive. BUT i need to know something before doing that.
Is it possible to use two tapes to backup my data?
If yes, As you will see that i start my backup at 20:00:00. and the backup stop at 6:00 and that means no one can insert the 2nd tape. What is the best practice solution?
