GFS media pool tapes not appendable

Post by Gruchman »

Hi All!
We are quite new in term of Veeam & tapes and have a problem that we didn't find resolvable.
VBR 9.5 and GFS tape pool. We have only few tapes, but they should contain three monthly backups. The second backup has not been written to tapes, because we made mistake and not set "Append backup files to incomplete tapes" for monthly media set. We set it now, but next started copy job still saying "there is no tapes to write to". How we can re-open this media set or make them appendable, if we have set "Append backup files to incomplete tapes"? This setting isn't inherited to the existing tapes/media sets while set?

I think in the previous media set has been already closed and is not appendable any longer, though, next tapes should correctly handle newly specified option - "Append backup files to incomplete tapes".

Answering your question, there is no way to re-open already closed mediaset to further writes.

Thanks!
