We have a Qualstar Robotic Jukebox with 28 tape slots using 8mm 260Gb tapes. We have Veritas Backup Exec 8.6 running incremental Mon-Fri backup and Sat full backup. The Mon-Fri use one tape each and Sat uses two tapes. We are backing up seven NT4.0 servers totaling up to 400GB
The problen started three Saturdays ago (running the Sat Full backup), the backup starts normally and fills up the first tape. It then takes the second tape but instead of continuing the backup, it returns the tape to the slot and pickup the first tape. It then starts the job but since its already used on the first part of the job, it rejects it and log an error that the tape is already used then stops the backup.
Any suggestions?
