Backup Exec 10d cannot eject media from autoloader

SaleemK

Hi, I have recently installed a HP Storageworks 1/8 Tape Autoloader and I'm using BE10d. I have opted to have Backup Exec eject media when the job completes, but it fails to do so.We only use 1 tape per backup, so multiple tapes are not a concern at this point in time. Is there something on the autoloader side that is overriding this, or is it completely unable to carry out this function? Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated! Saleem

 If you dont know how to work with policies then you can schedule the export job:

As far as policies you got the job setup tab and create you selection list..which should already exist if you running backups.

In job setup in policy section create a new policy. Then create a new backu template. The template basically is everything in a normal job execept the selections. So you be setting up options, schedule, device, etc. Once you save the backup template you should see a option for export template and you create that. Then save the policy then it will ask you to pick a selection list. Use your existing seleciton list. Backup Exec will create the policy drive jobs. Place you existing job on hold.

Eject feature in BE doesnt work on autoloaders that is by design. Its only designed for single tape drive.
You can setup a policy to have you job run and then have it export the tape after the job completes.

Thanks a lot for the information. I've never set up an export policy before.  Would you mind walking me through the basic idea please ?
