Jobs Queued half way through on different tapes!

[Luca_Salvatore]

This week when iam running my weekly backup, the jobs stops and becomes queued about half way through at about 200 gigs. There is an alert that says to 'Please insert overwritable media into the robotic library using the import command'

Which i have done but the job still sits and queued and the same alert pops up. I have tried to use three different and brand new tapes which can hold 400 gig and at the very same place (about 200 gig) the job becomes queued.

Could this be caused by a corrupt file or something of that nature? please help as i have not been able to run my weekly backup so far this week.

Do you receive any events in the event logs?

Kindly refer the following Document:

no there are no logs in windows event viewer. That tech note had no information regarding this.

It is happening with every tape that i try, even brand new ones. The tapes have plenty of storage left on them, i have seen out weekly taps backup close to 400 gig.

Any suggestions?? I have not been able to run a full backup for two weeks now as this problem is still occuring!

It has only started happening since i installed service pack 1, please advise on this!

Hi Luca,

The message "Please insert overwritable media into the robotic library

using the import command" would occur in a situation when Backup Exec is

looking a tape to continue on, but is not able to find a tape to overwrite.

This cause of not able to find a tape can be due to the Media Set being

used which does not have appropriate Overwrite Protection Period /Append

Period set up to accommodate the backups at that particular time.

Please verify the Media Set Overwrite protection properties to which the

job is targeted. it.


Thanks and regards,
