Backup Status = Waiting Tape

[derekmines]

So I have this error every time after a Bank Holiday but this is the first time I've had the support capacity to actually take a look at it.

My automated nightly backup doesn't occur because Monday's tape is not in the autoloader. So the job pauses, with a status of "Waiting Tape"
This morning I come in and insert the Monday night tape into the autoloader (having first removed last Friday's week-end tapes)

Veeam doesn't appear to recognise that the Monday tape is now inserted, instead still reporting that the inserted tape is one of the Friday week-end media.

Nothing I do seems to get Veeam to understand that the correct tape is inserted and it can now carry on with the job.

Any thoughts?

Hello derekmines,

Is it possible to perform inventory on the inserted tape? Thanks!

[derekmines]

It is not possible to perform inventory. I get an error message saying "tape drive in use"

Understood. If i remember correctly tape job should perform tape inventory automatically when the tape media is inserted. Please raise a support case and let our support team investigate your application debug logs. Do not forget to share the case Id in this thread as a reference. Thank you!
