Every day: Wating Tape Status

Post by marianoabdala »

Hi guys, i have an issue with Veeam Backup and Replication.-

I made one job with two tapes for each day of the week.
every day the tapes got stuck on "waiting tape" status and i have to "mark as free" i cant make it work automactly.
(i activated eject tape)

Is it anyway to add "mark as free" as a task previous the recording?

thanks
best regards

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

Is it possible that the that the tapes are still write protected / data retention policy is not over yet?

Best regards,
Hannes

Did you happen to set up the media pool to automatically add tapes from the FREE pool as needed? Unless you are using just only two tapes but that would be a way around this other than what was mentioned above about write protection and policy.

Hello,
the first screenshot shows "never overwrite data". I think what you like to have is "Do not protect data..."

Best regards,
Hannes
