Export Media Set only exports first Tape

Post by MBitterman »

hello everybody,
we moved from ArcServe Backup to Veeam and we are very satisfied with it. We only have one small "problem"
We are Using a HP MSL4048 Library for our tapejobs. At the moment we need 2 LTO-5 Tapes for each Backup.
We activated the option "Export the current media set once the job finishes" but it only exports the 1st tape of the media set.
The second tape is moved to a random free slot of the library. When we manually tell Veeam to export the 2nd Tape it works fine.

How can we make Veeam to export the whole et and not only the first tape of the set?

Thanks in Advance
Michael

What media set creation options does the given media pool have? How many slots does your library have? Thanks.

And If I got it correctly, one run of backup to tape job uses two mediums, right? Thanks.

Got it. Currently, that's the way product works (exporting only one cassette out of mediaset). We're aware of this behavior, and might consider fixing it in one of the upcoming patches/releases. Thanks.
