Moving current running backup to another drive

[pmwut5]

I never been able to do this but I thought I'd ask to see if was possible.
I have a silo with 10 drives (1-10)
A backup of a notes machine that runs to 100Gb is currently 65Gb through. For the first 64Gb the backup wrote to dlt drive 9 at approxiamtely 7MB/s which is good. When the tape in drive 9 became full. Legato used a tape in dlt drive 2 and is now writing a 500KB/s.

Is there a way without restarting the backup to make legato stop using dlt drive 2 (as I think the drive has a problem) and use another dlt drive ?

Regards

Paul

No there is no way, to move the backup to another drive.

an I ask what brand of drives/jukebox you use? I'm having similar problems and I believe I have narrowed it down to a jukebox error.

If you have a StorageTek 9710 with the latest firmware, you should try to force a clean on the drive to get it re-calibrated. We used to have too many cleanings, but the latest firmware was installed and has over compensated the other way. The drives (DLT7000's) don't clean as often as they should. After a forced clean using the jukebox panel to specify the drive, they often start writing at normal speeds. If not, I have the drive replaced.
