Invalid tape after new media pool

Post by ACW »

We have a secondary destination backup job to tape.
Until now there was a media pool configured with daily incremental and weekly full.

I wanted to change this to control which tape is being used.
I created 2 new media pools with each a set of tapes.
Daily
Weekly
I changed the backup job to use these media pools but I'm receiving an invalid tape in library
What am I doing wrong?

Hello ACW,

Can you please share the exact error code you got? How many tape devices you are using within your Veeam B&R console? Thanks!

Hello

Insert a valid tape into the library is the message I get and it stays there.
It is trying to do an incremental
We only have 1 tape device.

Any idea what I did wrong?
I reused the existing backup to tape job.
Could that be the cause?

ACW,

Tape job should pick another tape media when the original tape is not available any longer. Please raise a support ticket and share the case ID with us. Thank you!
