- Dev_TLevel 6Hello,
This is not the issue with the USB drive. This is the issue witerwrite Protection Period set for the media set which is configured in the job.
How many jobs are going to the USB? - CraigVModeratorHi zen,
Check your overwrite settings and make sure they are correct.
Also check that you have enough free space available.
Laters! - zenworksbLevel 4thanks guys I just got up :) this is a terabyte drive, I set the media set to scratch media setup the job and still getting same response? where exactly do I make this change
there is one job now, but there will be two etc - Ken_PutnamLevel 6
In the job setup, you specify the target media set. (I always create at least on of my own. I've had some strange behavior in the past when using the default)
then from the media tab, right click the media set\Properties You can specify an OPP and APP. that is the time period after the job closes to keep from overwriting the media and the time from the beginning of the job that you can add data to the tape
APP is extended each time you close an append job, but the apped period is never changed until the next overwrite job
If you need to keep data for four weeks, and run jobs each night, set the OPP of the media sets to 27 days (and I use Overwrite for ALL B2D jobs, Append and B2D causes all kinds of hassels) - zenworksbLevel 4i will check now and post back
- zenworksbLevel 4i checked teh backup and the media is set to not overwrite and keep forever but will not let me change this setting?
- Ken_PutnamLevel 6
try creating a media set of your own, edit your job to point to it, then move one of your tapes to the Scratch media set and test again - zenworksbLevel 4it is just a usb hard drive so do I just go to media and create a media set i will try and post back
the problem is I think it pointing to it but let me create and I will post back - zenworksbLevel 4what shoudl I set the overwrite protection to for the media set. I am controlling this from the backup job so thoughts?
- zenworksbLevel 4ok I set to protect it for 27 days pointed the job to it and ran a test the test failed as i belieev the data that is already on there is protected and stopping. Shoudl I manualy delete everything of the usb and try again
meaning delete the data
recreated the removable backup to disk
resetup job with media set
try again?
