waitfor tape 05093638

Post by vipsuper »

Hello veeam technicians! I have a tape library that uses Veeam Backup & Replication backup software. My tape stores 2TB of content, and there is 2TB remaining, but I can’t continue to back up the content in it now. I am prompted to wait for new tapes. I don’t know it’s a problem with us. Or is the software set up incorrectly? Can you give us a solution? We only need to ensure that the tape can be stored in it at any time, until the tape is full. thank you all!

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

I assume that the media pool has no empty tapes available.
You must load tapes to the tape device and configure the target media pool so that it has access to them.
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110 should give some ideas.

To identify your issue (instead of guessing like I do right now), please continue working with support (these are R&D forums, not support forums). Please note, that support can only help if log files are provided. As far as I see, log files are missing in the case. https://www.veeam.com/kb1832

Best regards,
Hannes
