I am assisting in supporting the users of Backup Exec 10 and the users find that Inventory media after inserting new tape for backup is very annoying. Actually they want the Inventory task can be performed automatically.
1. Besides creating a scheduled inventory task to be performed before the backup job, is there any other ways to achieve the same result?
2. I found Below is the procedure extracted from page p164 (202 of 1530) of the Admin Guide of Backup Exec 10.
To have Backup Exec perform an inventory each time Backup Exec starts
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. In the Properties, under Settings, click Preference.
3. Click Inventory all drives on Backup Exec services startup.
4. Click OK.
Is there anyone try this before? Is the goal can be achieved properly? I have no machine for testing so all i can do is just asking here.
Thanks
