Hi Guys,
I've got a weird problem.
When the backup job (a simple backup job with no policies) is about to finish, the message "Please insert overwritable media" comes up, and the job is waiting. When i press OK (without replacing the tape), the job finishes without problems.
So the message is incorrect. it only backups 110GB, so the tape is far from full.
Many thanks,
Silvester

Hi there,
What size if your tape? I'd check at the amount of data on the tape that was backed up. If it is close to the maximum of your tape, chances are good there is a bit of rehydrating of data going on. In other words, the data on disk is being decompressed a bit when it goes to tape.
Don't ask me why...I have seen similar posts on these forums.

What kind of lto tapes and drives you are using. Is this a standalone drive or a library?
Does it happen all the time or only for particular jobs.
I have also seen the jobs doing this while doing verification ?
Please provide more inputs
