I have several daily full backup jobs running on a Backup Exec 12.5 For Windows Server system. Each job has its own drive to use, as well as a full 5-day rotation of tapes. These jobs are configured to append if possible, overwrite if no appendable media is available.
I'm running into a situation whereby, if the media is nearly full, the job will cancel itself, rather than overwrite the media. Do I have something misconfigured? The next time the job runs, using the same tape, it will overwrite that tape. I'm wondering if there's something going on with the pre-scan functionality of the job - I currently have it set for full pre-scan to determine job size.
Anyone have any insight into this one?
Thanks,
