Loading Media Error

[Geovanni_Rivas]

Hi,

I have a Power Vault 110T back up drive connect it to a windows 2003 server and I get the same message everyday ( Loading Media ) all I'm trying to do is backup my local files.

Thank You.

I have a similiar problem
However my hardware is a Dell PE2650 connected to a Dell PV132T.
The problem is that i need to be able to schedule jobs to run on specific days. Not according to a recuring schedule as the scheduling does not allow for this unless i pick the specific dates and add them to an "Include list".
When i do this, the jobs just sit there and will tell me they are trying to load media.
I can "run a job now" that will pick the tape and backup everything fine.
Here is an error log from one of the jobs that is not working:

Again this only happens when selecting: Schedule->Run according to schedule-> Specific dates-> include, more than one date and the tape is set to overwrite. Appending works. Maybe a call to the support line would work better.

Are you sure that the tape is not overwrite protected?

Is there an active Alert to insert an overwriteable tape?

[Mark_Hinchee]

Upon further investigation I found that the overwrite protection was set to prompt.
I killed that option and will see how my backups run tonight.

Hello,

With referance to your post, 'loading media', we need to know if the problem persists. As per the previous replies to this post, have you checked the overwrite protection and append periods? Also what are you backing up in this job? Is it an overwrite job?
The first job directed towards a blank media should be overwrite job, the subsequent can be append jobs.
Do update us if the problem persists and we shall try to answer. Do provide the details to the above questipns too.

NOTE : If we do not receive your reply within two business days, this post would be marked ‘assumed answered’ and would be moved to ‘answered questions’ pool.
