I set my arcserve 2000 backup with a DLT 7.0 library as follows:
1. Installed Arcserver 2000 client manager on all backup clients
2. Reconfigured my Arcserve server to use those backup clients
3. Created a media pool called "weekly" assigned 6 blank tapes (which I formatted) to that media pool.
4. Set Min. medium to 4 and retention to 4. - I was hoping on just getting one week of differentials with full on Friday and overwriting weekly.
5. I also figured out how to make groups. I put slots 1-6 in "group0" and slot 7 in "group1."
6. I scheduled two backup jobs:
1. A rotation that used weekly differentials and fulls on Friday. For destination, I used "group0" and * for the media.
2. A customized rotation that uses "group1" and * for media. It is set to do a full the 30th day of every month.
It seemed like a great plan. However, it was supposed to execute last
night at 11:59 and it never did. Any idea why?
There are no records in the activity logs or in the client manager connection logs.
Also, even though I erase all the jobs in the queue before I execute the new job, I still get the following error:
"Warning. Media Pool "Weekly" is activated by another rotation job. Sharing an active pool is not recommended. Do you wish to continue?"
Let me repeat, I have erased all other backup jobs. So I don't see how the "Weekly" media pool could be activated by another rotaion.
Pleeze help.
