Tape Redundancy

[Jason_Alexander]

Will Backupexec 10 automatically go to the next tape in my robotic library if a tape has CRC errors which cause the current backup to fail? I couldnt figure out a way to do it in 9, was wondering if it was possible in 10. We use many tapes and we get failures which need to be manually restarted when a tape encounters a CRC.

thanks!

There are error-handling rules that you can apply-

Within the job log, right-mouse click on an existing failed job with a CRC error (or wait until such a failure occurs) and choose 'error handling....'
From there, you can choose to re-try the job again after a specified interval.
However, it is likely that the same tape would be used again by re-running the job.

An ideal rule would be to place the tape into the retired media pool after a CRC error was encountered, but Backup Exec does not have that capability.
