Hello Sir:

When I run the backup job show the error: "The job failed with the following error: The operation failed to acquire the minimum number of drives and media needed", I can backup normally before two days ago, but the library jammed tape, so the vendor replaced some hardware; When I run the job will show upper error but the library run normally; I think need to change some setting of Backup Exec but I can not find the document, Please help me, Thanks a lot.

OS- Windows Server 2008 R2
BE - Backup Exec 2015
Tape - IBM TS3100 LTO5

refer the above technote and also make sure the Job is set to append to media, overwrite if no available media is available.
