Master server NBU ver: 7.0.1
os: Win 2008 R2
Media server: 7.0.1
OS: win 2003
Storage: Quantum dxi4520 and tape library.
Backup jobs are running to Quantum DXi4520 (OST) and will be duplicated to tape. We are using SLP for this. Full image size is approximatly ~6.5 TB. Tapes are LTO2. Check point is enabled in the policy.
Question: When duplciation job was running only one tape available and it wrote 1.7 TB and failed with 96, as we had no tape. When this job retries does it begin from the point which was failed. If no what will be with the data (1.7TB) which was written previously and couldnt finish? Is it possible to erase it?

Thanks for answer.
What is the difference between this command and between bpexpdate -m id -d 0. as i understand both of them will clear the tape assign tab.

bpexpdate -deassign empty will deassign and media that contains no images, but where the media still has as assign time.
The bpexpdate -d 0 -m <media id> will deassign the media,if it contains images or not.
Care must be taken with this command.

Hi Mark,
does it mean that if the tape has two images. one is successful and one is failed but written. and if i run deaasignempty command it will just cleans the part of the media which has a unfinished image. Do i understand it correct?
