lebisol Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hello everyone! I am running into a strange behavior to where my scripts seem not to be able to find the media. I have been running normal backups for a bout 2 months and everythig was fine. I rotate 1 scrpt per day per tape (14 tapes - 2 weeks) where each script has only one memeber tape. I'v been having to erase the tapes and re-add them as a new member (using the same name) and then scripts will execute just fine. Again this seems to fix the issue for a about 2-3 executions and same issue appears. What could be causing this problem? I have cleaned the tape drive and even used new tapes but success! Thank you for any advice! All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hi Using "recycle" backups is a much better way to go about this. Manually erasing tapes can really confuse Retrospect. More importantly it will make your backups incomplete. I suspect the manual erase is what's causing problems. What tape does Retrospect ask you for on the failed backups? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebisol Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 it just says that "Script not ready....Media can not be found for the script 'abcd'" I will give a recycle apporach a try although I would like to "append" to previous backups but 2 weeks of history is good enough. Thanx natew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
