The magazine is missing or not properly installed.
Hi,
I encounter the above error everytime a scheduled backup job was 'in-the-middle-of-backup-process' and the backup tape (Dell 1TB) was unknowingly ejected out.
The backup job includes a file (of size ~17GB) and the backup stopped at ~16GB. The backup job was NOT CONFIGURED to eject backup tape after backup completes.
What might have cause this errors? The backup tape is brand new and in 'UnLock' position.
Manual backup is a success but scheduled backup have error mentioned above. Hope to get a solution soon.
Thank you very much.

b) Dell PowerVault Removable Disk Storage - USB (RD1000)
Low disk space threshold (at which backup operations are suspended) : 900 GB
This means that you can only use 100GB of your disk space. If you have used the disk for other things, then you have even less space to use.
Did you specify Allocate the Max size? If so, then every time BE creates a .bkf it will allocate 5GB, according to your settings above.
For disk storage, you should not append to the media. Set your AP to 1 hr to prevent accidental appends and set your job to ovewrite.
