Tape not detected
hi all:
I'm super new to symantec, we just installed it in our win2008 server. Have not activated the features of it. We haven't used Symantec BE as our main backup strategy due to some reason. Currently, I am only using it to backup files from an external disk to tape. This has worked before with no problem.
Here's the scenario:
I have 3 external HDD w/ enclosure which served as our backup drive since the server could not recognize the tape drive yet. After installing the Symantec BE, since we cannot have symantic to automatically backup, I had to manually do it. I had to backup the contents from the first external drive to tape drive. I've performed Inventory and eject the 1st tape drive used. Now, I'm on the second external HDD and inserted the new tape to drive. Performed quick erase, however, it can't detect the inserted new tape. I can still see the contents from the previous tape used. Did I miss something? Do I need to do something else so it can be recognized and proceed transferring the file from my second HDD to 2nd tape? Please help.
I hope to resolve this problem so I can perform backup to whole server.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Kim ^_^
In the Backup job properties click on the drop down arrow for the Devices option and directly select the Tape drive where you want to backup the data.
Or else go to Devices tab in Backup Exec and add the tape drive to the Device pool.
