Hello DarthBilly, Thanks for the response, Yes I do receive this error only whenever trying to delete the storage, sadly I cannot put the storage on another server we only have 1 BE sever for our small environment and it is direct attached.
Yes I googled the error and found the solution the Veritas technician used to remove the storage here: https://vox.veritas.com/t5/Backup-Exec/How-do-i-remove-a-disc-storage/m-p/525156#M269728 but the issue will return in days, weeks or months and I cannot keep deleting the storage in order for my backups to run there has to be another solution to resolve this reoccurring problem.
Hopsnbarley, to answer your questions, I currently am running BE 15 version 14.2 rev 1180. The folder does contain backupsets when explored using windows explorer. No I moved all the jobs off the disk to attempt to delete the disk.
As for why I am trying to delete the disk, this is the only way to get the backups running again as there is an issue with BE starting a job but just sitting there saying its active and queued and never actually does anything.
The other main error I receive is as follows and this is from the exisiting drive I need to delete.
“Backup Exec attempted to automatically reconfigure the newly discovered disk storage devise for use, but the reconfiguration failed with the following error:
This Volume cannot be configured as a disk storage because the folder is already being used for another disk storage device. Delete the other disk storage device if you want to configure the volume locally.”
I am looking for a permanent solution for these jobs to run properly other than deleting the disk as the problem will reoccur.
