Backup job spans more then 8 tapes. how to changes tapes with active job.
The autoloader can use 8 tapes at time. My backup job is starting to need more then 8 tapes? I don't see a way to unlock the autoloader
and add one more tape while the job is active. If you cancel ...
Even if you succeed in putting in additional tapes for the job to complete the backup, this is not the end of the story. You would have to put in the original tapes when the verify stage starts and then put in the new tapes when they are required. This is not a viable way to do things on a regular basis.
You should consider the following
1) split up your job so that the individual jobs use less than 8 tapes.
2) backup to disk
3) get a library with more slots and/or a tape drive with higher write capacity.
