Hello Hery.

Any chance this backup job stores backup files for your VM separately (per-VM backup files option is enabled on the repository level)?

Thanks Hery. I am afraid there is nothing you can do and you have to start a new tape job run. To avoid this situation in future you can enable Prevent this job from being interrupted by source backup jobs option in tape job schedule.

hi Dima

what about the protect feature in vbr? https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95

there are 3 tapes of 7 in media set which already contain with data backup, meanwhile another 4 still empty tapes. what about if i protect these 3 tapes, and rerun the backup job? is it will continue on next tape (#4 to 7) without rewriting from tape #1-3?

thanks

Hery,

During backup to tape job tape device writes backup files as data stream. In the job was interrupted or canceled, it’s impossible to identify where this stream was broken which makes the retry of the failed job impossible.
