Final error: 0xe0000f16 - The operation failed to acquire the minimum number of drives and media needed.

I'm attempting to run a newly created Active Directory back-to-disk job on Backup Exec 2010 R3 SP3 but getting this strange error:

 

Final error: 0xe0000f16 - The operation failed to acquire the minimum number of drives and media needed.

V-79-57344-33064 - Error - Mount failed.
No targeted devices were found that support the drive features selected by the job. The job has been canceled by Backup Exec.

 

Notes:

- In Devices and Media, device is set to a newly created backup-to-disk folder
- When this job begins: Append to media, overwrite if no appendable media is available
- Rebooted BE server
- Installed latest remote agent on domain controller
- Have a duplication job linked to a write to tape (I got the error prior to creating this dupe job)

Any ideas?

  • OK I figured it out - I turned off encryption and the job began to run.  I'm doing duplication to a LTO3 which may not support the encryption hardware encryption I usually use.

    Case closed, thanks!

  • Yeah I have it set to a custom media set "Allow Overwrite (1 week)".

     

     

  • Try recreating the job's selection list to make sure all the selections are accessible.

  • Since you are backing up to disk, you should specify overwrite in your job.  There is no advantage in appending to disk media.
