can't backup with tape media on the Scratch_pool

[CHONG_WU]

There are  some tape media on the Scratch_pool,  but can't continue to backup with status code 96, how to exam these media are availabe for backuping?

[Andy_Welburn · Accepted solution]

Are they of the correct density (e.g. HCART)?

Are they in the library? (sorry for that!)

Is the scratch pool configured as such?

Has the tape physically expired?

Has the media reached its maximum mount limit (if set)?

Re run the inventory,

Goto Media and check if tapes are freeze, if yes right click on the tape and unfreeze and run the backups.

goto the properties of master server from host properties and check for the SCSI reservation option, if its uncheck please check it and recycle the services of NBU.
