Hi

 

I am fairly new to this so excuse my ignorance.  I am running BackupExec11d and having a little trouble with mixed up media at the moment.  So I thought I would erase the mislabled media and start again (It's a daily incremental tape so erasing it isn't a major deal).  HOwever I cannot seem to erase it.  I have gone through devices > selected the tape drive then when I right click for the menu erase and quick erase are greyed out.  The tape is in the drive but doesn't show as online.  How can i force the media to show as online when it is in the drive? ( I am assuming that when the media is online i will get the option to erase)

 

Cheers

Hi

 

I have now resolved this issue (after re-reading the help files :)).

 

If it helps anyone else, all I had to do was inventory the media that was in the drive.  The operation I was after was then displayed.

 

Regards
