Re: tape alert "Media statistics have been lost some time in the past"
Our tape device and tapes are almost new. We have backed up less than 100G data till now. The tape in the slot 2 is also a new one. I have replaced that tape with another new one, done the backup job and there is no more alert till now. I am not sure whether the tape once in that slot is defective.

I have received a tape alert "Media statistics have been lost some time in the past" recently. It appeared in each backup job log since last Friday, while the job status is still successful. ----- TapeAlert Events ----- Warning - Media statistics have been lost some time in the past. Robotic Library: SONY 1 Drive: SONY 2 Slot: 2 I have browsed the knowledgebase (http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/230206.htm). For this specific alert, it says: Flag Number: 51 Flag: Tape directory invalid at unload Type: W Required Host Message: Media statistics have been lost at some time in the past Cause: Drive or library powered down with tape loaded Will it affect my data on the tape? How to solve it? I am using backup 9.1, and the tape device is SONY storstation LIB81(SDX-500V). Thanks2.7KViews0likes4Comments
