Completed backup job going into "queued" status permenently

[David_Macdonald]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with my Veritas Backups....

The backup appears to complete successfully, however instead of going into completed status, the tape ejects, and I get a recurring alert: "The device is not ready!". The job report shows no problems, and the amount of data backed up is about how much I expect based on past backups.

The job goes into "queued" status, and stays there until I cancel it.

This was previously happening intermittently, but now happens every night.

System details:

* Veritas Backup Exec 9.1
* Windows 2003 Server Standard.
* Dell PowerVault 110T DLT tape drive


Any ideas?

Regards,
Dave.

Hello,
Please verify the tape capacity and the size of this backup. After how long does the tape alert appear. Is it after the ape is full. Are there any other tape alerts?

Please install the latest Veritas drivers:
