Tape set confusion ...
Good morning,
I've some logical problem with BE 2010 R3: We use a Quantum i40 tape library with two magazines to backup our SAN. To organize the tapes we use the left magazine for the daily tape set (allways in the library) and the right one for the weekly tape set (changed every monday). So I've configured two jobs and two Tape sets in BE 2010 R3, one for the left with 5-day overwrite protection, one for the right with always overwrite. Everything is full functional, but sometimes BE seems to be "intelligent" and uses some tapes from the wrong tape set, one example from this weekend:
The weekend job is configured to use the "right" weekly tape set / magazine. There are a few temporaly tapes and enough over writeable in the right magazine available - but it use one over writeable tape from the "left" daily magazine. Why? Every Job is configured to use one static magazine / tape set, why is BE changing this and re-join the tapes to different sets?
Many thanks.
Erik
