Delayed Tape Mount

chris_mcgrail

I have an SBS 2003 server with BUE 10d, 10.1, rev.5629. Sometimes the tape doesn't mount for days after the job starts, but the backup is still successful. Any suggestions to troubleshoot?

Thanks

"... Sometimes the tape doesn't mount for days ..."

Have you defined your own media sets? Remember that media sets are a way to safeguard tapes, so they won't be overwritten earlier than you intend.

- perhaps when this happens the tapes are in a media set with overwrite protection several days in the future. When the clock ticks over, the tapes are available for overwrite and the tape mounts and job runs.
