The tape cartridge is not data grade

[Kelvin_Lam]

Dear Sir/Madam,

After upgrade BE v9.1 to 10d, I have received a Tape Alerts message in the backup log:

----- TapeAlert Events -----

The device has reported the following TapeAlert diagnostic information.
Please contact your device manufacturer for more information regarding TapeAlerts.


Warning - The tape cartridge is not data grade. Any data you back up to the tape is at risk.
Replace the cartridge with data grade tape.
Robotic Library: IBM 2
Drive: IBM 1
Slot: 3

I haven't change any backup tape after the upgrade, and the alert hasn't seen in the V9.1 version before.

Anyone has idea about this issue?

Thanks,
Regards,
Kelvin

Hi,

What is a Tape Alert and why do they appear in Backup Exec job logs?

-- Was the Upgrade process successful ?
-- Have you also install device drivers while upgrade ?


Update us on the same and revert for any further Query



Thank you
