No empty tapes available

Post by perjonsson1960 »

Folks,

What happens if a tape backup job gets out of empty tapes in the tape library? Will the job wait until new empty tapes are inserted into the tape library, or will it abort?

Regards,

Hi Per!

Job will sit in "WaitingTape" (green) status, pending for free tapes to become available. In the job log you will see green record: "Add tape to media pool [Pool Name] ([Library Name] ([Tape Server Name]))"

Hope that helps!
