Inserting new tape into running job

Is it possible to add a blank tape tape into a running job... My backup job ran out of tape space, 

and is waiting for extra media

 

 

please help

  • You are out of luck here.  You need to insert a labeled tape and you cannot label a tape while the job is running.  Unfortunately, you would have to cancel your job, label this new tape and then re-run your job.

  • I just unwrapped a brand new tape, and inserted it into the media drive, no luck it cannot see the tape

  • After inserting new tape Respond to alert "Please insert overwritable Media" with yes.

    You can click on Active job to respond to alert.
