Eject Removable Backup Drive??

[Dave_B_]

Hello,

We are currently using multiple hard-drives (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc) for our backups.  We have a "Removable Backup to Disk" folder created.  

I am wondering if it is possible to have the job fail, or eject the Hard-drive from the system if the Hard-Drive is not swapped out for the next day's hard-drive (example: Monday's drive is left in for Tuesday's backup)?

Thanks

Hello,

Backup Exec wont be eject the Drive like a Tape Media from the Drive as its connected via USB. We need to manually swap the USB drive in our case.

If you have different B2D devices defined on each physical disk, and if you point each night's job at a separate device, then the job will pause until you physically swap the drives

If you have defined one device and all your drives and jobs share it, All I can think of woule be to schedule a BEMCMD job that pauses the device to run after the nightly job has completed

Thank you both for replying.

We currently have an individual in charge of swapping the drives daily, but they have been kind of lax in there duties.  Sometimes a week will go by and come to find out they didn't swap the drive at all.  

Ken: I will look into the creation of a BEMCMD job, or creating different B2D devices.
