Current block size is incorrect
The following error consistently occurs when doing a nightly scheduled backup: When accessing a new tape of a multivolume partition, the current block size is incorrect. Interestingly, the error consistently does NOT occur when doing a manual backup (ie, choosing the "run now" option on the job). I have read the technote at http://support.veritas.com/docs/190603 and erasing the tape and using a different one does not affect the observed behaviors. This seemed to start occuring after installing the latest update for Server 2003 a couple of weeks ago. This update had something to do with updating the Windows installer, so it would appear to be irrelevant. Any ideas?116Views0likes1CommentRe: BE erroneously wants overwritable media
>>This is the same job that runs daily, not different jobs? Yes, this is the same job. >>if the media set of a mounted tape volume is different than the media set called for by a job, BackupExec cannot append This is same media set used by the first (successful) job already on the tape. I've discovered and applied SP1, but it corrupted the database. In short, I've had to remove and reinstall BE. Now I'm starting all over again.241Views0likes0CommentsBE erroneously wants overwritable media
I have a daily backup job created by the media rotation wizard. The job properties are set to "append to media, overwrite if no appendable media is available." The tape has only been written to once and has plenty of room for several more daily backups. When the backup job starts, the tape is ejected and an alert states that "Media 'daily' is currently allocated and is not available for overwrite operations." The media set properties are 4 weeks for overwite protection and 6 days for append period. We are well within the 6 day period for allowable appends. So, any idea as to why BE wants to overwrite the tape? Thanks, Del241Views0likes4CommentsRe: Exchange Error - Corrupt Message
