Quantum LTO-4 HH Drive WORM settings with Exec.

Hi

 I am using backup exec with Quantum LTO-4 HH Drive.

I use RW tapes from HP to back up my data. 

I want to make a back up, and then add more data to the tape. But the only setting I see for the type of backup is the WORM setting. 

Is the problem with the drive or with backup exec? How do I solve it? 

Thanks in advance :)

What is the append period ?

Maybe it is not expired, so you cannot add data to the tapes.


Is your tape drive also a HP drive ?
Than you can test it with the HP LTT:

Hi albcore,

 

Are you using the Symantec drivers for your tape drive? If not, download the latest drivers, and then install them using the wizard in BE itself.

Once done, try a backup job and check to see if it is reporting your media correctly.

Quantum have a utility to check the drive which you can download and try. Unfortunately HP LTT won't help much in this case, even if you're using their tapes!

 

Thanks!
