Restart a job automatically after bad media

Roger_Walker

Hello,

I have an Exabyte VXA-2 autoloader which holds 10 tapes. Occasionally I have a failed backup because of an error when read/writing to a tape and the job fails at that point.

The next job which runs immediately afterwards loads a new tape into the drive and completes successfully, so it would appear to be bad media rather than the hardware.

Is it possible to configure BackupExec to automatically load a fresh upon a read/write error and restart the current job, rather than just fail and proceed to the next job?

Thanks
Roger
