Disable Auto-Eject

PGSmick
Level 2

Is there a way to disable Auto-eject?  I maintain a BackupExec 2013 Server remotely using a Dell RD1000 cartridge drive, and whenever BE has an issue with a media (whether it is full, read-only), I cannot proceed to fix the problem unless somebody on-site goes to the server and puts the media back in. This is usually a pain (and reduces customer confidence in the system).  So, I would like the option to tell BE to issue any alerts it wants, and stop in mid-stream if it has to, but leave the cartridge in place until I tell it to eject.  I would be happiest with a global option setting, but if there is an option within the backup job definition itself, that might be OK.

 

TIA,

Peter

Hi,

 

Don't think this is possible as it seems to be the default behaviour.

Here is a link to the Idea to get this put into a future release of BE, so go vote it up and add your voice to the bottom of the comments section.
