Hi all,
I'm having a problem with our weekend backups performed at the end of each month.
I have a new tape drive (LTO3) for our new data server and I'm using our old DLTV4 for our exchange server.
I have BE11d with exchange agent backing up to the DLTV4 and BE12 quickstart backing up to the LTO3.
I have 4 daily jobs (Mon-Thurs) a weekly job (each Friday of the month) and a Monthly job (last Friday of the month). I also have Saturday and Sunday jobs that do an incremental backup and append that to the tape that's in (weekly or Monthly). The Daily and Sunday jobs eject the tape, the Weekly, Monthly and Saturday jobs don't.
I have Media sets for Daily, Weekly and Monthly. The daily set has an overwrite protection of 156 hours, weekly 25 days and monthly 51 weeks. No media set has a Appendable period set so they should be able to be appended to.
The Daily, weekly and Sat, Sun jobs work perfectly. When It runs a Monthly job I get the same error on each copy of BE. The error is E0000F16, basically no appendable media found. The LTO3 drive uses new monthly tapes and the DLTV4 uses existing tapes. The Only difference between the monthly and weekly jobs is the overwrite protection.
Anybody have any ideas why the jobs should fail on both BE with the same error?
I know the blindingly obvious is the tape but the media set allows backups.
Thanks
Robert
