So they are not happy with a cron solution. But we got a hint from one of our Senior Employeeto solve the issue withcascading jobs: First job is a dummy job ( i.e. backup SYS:) with a pre command to mount the Volume1. Second job is the job to backup Volume1 with a pre command which mounts volume2 ... Not very elegant but it should work and i guess there is currently no other way. Thanks and greetings Michael mounting volumes via pre command hello forum members, issue: we want to backup volumes which have to be mountedat the scheduled job via a pre command. when Backup Exec startsa scheduled job it first veryfies the selection-listto back up andfind there is justa Volume sys: currently mounted (TheVolumes which have to be backuparedismounted at this stage). Issue: Backup Exec does not backup Volumes wich will bemounted viaa pre command which successfully mounts additional volumes to the system. The job ends up in an error: Error determining next backup target. Selections for Server1.Netware file system/ Server1/volume1: will be skipped. Found 0 devices. Error nothing was found to backup. Background: the Storage devices/volumes are EVA-Storage Mirrored-Clones which will be just temporary accessible during daytime (6:00 am- 6:00 pm) at the Backup-Server via FibreChannel. any help appreciated thanks Michael
