sbuchan Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Retro reported a 206 (drive reported a failure: dirty heads, bad media, etc) .. this was on an HP - DD3 drive .. I ejected the tape, cleaned the drive, reinserted the tape .. and it seemed to then want to skip to the next member. Is this a coincidence // or what? Question: Do I assume that the member that had an error (member #6) is bad, and that is why it asked for a new blank tape to be called #7? If so .. is there anything on #6? should I replace it with media? if so, how? I don't want to re-run the entire backup .. its been running for a couple of days! /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Hi If all the other tapes were fine and the backup continues on a new tape you can consider this tape as bad. Continue the backup on tape number 7. Once the backup completes go to configure-> backup sets and set the proplem tape as missing from the members tab. The next time you backup anything that was on that tape will be copied again. Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
