Multiple errors while exporting media from tape library

Scott_Bailey
Level 4
I am running Backup Exec v12.0 and using a HP Tape Library that has 8 slots, of which 1 is a mail slot.  I have a backup job that backs up a SAN / NAS device using NDMP and after this is complete, I have an Export Job Type that that will move the tape to the mail slot.

Currently, it is taking 2 tapes to complete the job and it appears the backup job is completing but I'm getting an error when doing the export.  Obviously you can only have one tape in the mail slot at a time, but I'm wanting to verify that the errors I'm receiving are not related to the backup job itself.

The errors I'm receiving are (note: Barcode and Media Label are not the actual names):

Slot          Barcode     Media Label     Status                   Device
------        -------------    -----------------     ---------                  ----------
1              <0001>         <0001>           Library error -        HP 3
                                                                destination
                                                                 location is
                                                                 full.

1             <0001>          <0001>           Library error -         HP 3
                                                                destination
                                                                location is
                                                                full.

1             <0001>           <0001>         Library error -           HP 3
                                                               destination
                                                               location is
                                                               full.

1              <0001>          <0001>         Library error -           HP 3
                                                               destination
                                                               location is
                                                               full.

2              <0002>          <0002>        empty                         HP 3

2              <0002>          <0002>                                            HP 3

I'm thinking this is just because the backup job is using 2 tapes.  Am I correct?

Thanks,

Scott
