Backup failure
I hope someone can help me. I am running 8.6 with my NT4 server. I have a Dell Powervault 122t SDLT autoloader attached. I have 3 backup jobs that are pointed towards that autoloader. I have 3 media sets created. Each one has a 4 week overwrite protection and an infinite append period. When my backup job executes, it grabs the right tape from the media set and the backup completed successfully. Once the tape gets to between 220Gig and 250Gig, the backup dies. When you look at the Robotics Library Inventory report you see that there was a 3 entered under the header of full, which means that there was a special state encountered. I have turned off Dr. Watson through the registry, replaced and updated to the latest firmware SCCI cards, replaced media, (and feel like float-testing backup exec). Once a job fails, I can create another job finishing up where the previous one failed, and it picks up the correct tape out of the media set and works fine. Why are my jobs failing?? Why am I geting the 3 when my tape almost reaches the max?
