I am running Veritas BUE v10.0 on a MS Server 2003 server and I am experiencing problems backing up to a removable drive. I have a single removable drive bay connected to my server via USB. I cycle out four individual removable drives (take one out and replace it with another one) on a weekly basis (each Friday I change the drive).
This process, when it works, usually lasts about 1.5 hours and backs up about 31GB. The last time it worked successfully was on 1/17. So far I've seen this pattern:
1/17 (Thu) - success - 31GB backed up
1/18 (Fri post drive swap) - failed - 30GB backed up - ERROR: "media mount failed" (also reached four hour time limit)
1/18-1/24 - failed - *no data* - max runtime of four hours reached each night
1/25 (Fri post drive swap) - failed - 8.6GB backed up - ERROR: "media mount failed" (also reached four hour time limit)
1/26 - 1/31 - failed - *no data* - max runtime of four hours reached each night
2/1 (fri post drive swap) - failed - 4.2GB backed up - ERROR: "media mount failed" (also reached four hour time limit)
Apparently each time we swap the removable drive, it attempts to copy some data, and then after reaching the maximum run time errors out with this error text in the log file (this same error message appears each time it has failed since 1/17):
Backup- D: ASCMedia mount failed.
User canceled a Physical Volume Library operation.
V-79-57344-33861 - The media operation was terminated by the user.
When I do a lookup on error code "V-79-57344-33861" (according to it essentially says that the maximum time limit has been reached:
The error occurs because the operation has been canceled manually or a time limit has been set for the backup and that limit has been exceeded. For example, if Enable Automatic Cancellation was selected in the Schedule Options of the Backup Job Properties, the job will be canceled if the run time exceeds the amount of time specified.
I *really* hope someone can help me with this one. I'm losing hair (and sleep) over this.
