[Boubacar_Sambo]

Hi,
my full backup job is queued and the alerts is asking for a new media to be inserted. when I try to insert a new one, I get a prompt that 'Magazine is locked by Host system'.
does anybody know how to get my job running again, without losing it/

thanks,

What type of tape device? In backup exec, go under devices tab,
select your tape drive from the list and right-click it with mouse. There should be an option "unlock" or "unlock device". When you select this, backup exec will send info for tapedrive to unlock itself.

After this go to tapedrive itself, and select unlock right/left magazine under "operations"

This is handy tool for making tapedrive more secure.
