Backing up a folder on a seperate server with 931GB of video data always fails.
The first tape backup error message was tape full
The second tape backup, the error was "encontered corrupted file"
None of my backup seems to complete.
is there something i am doing wrong? i am backing up directly to tape. and i manually inserted the barcode on the robotic library during initialization
PS: can i erase the content on the tape so i can reuse it? how do i do this with backup exec?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Video files are already compressed. If you specify compression in your job, you are likely to end up with more data than what you have started off with. See my article below

You should turn off compression in your job.
To erase a tape, go to the Storage tab, right-click on the tape and select erase. Otherwise, right-click on it and associate it with the scratch media set. Your job would then be able to ovewrite it.

Put it into your library. In the Storage tab, right-click on the slot that you have placed the tape and then select Inventory. After the inventory, the tape would be online. You can associate it with the scratch media set and it can be overwritten.
