rugby92 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Good afternoon, I am using Retrospect 5.5 OEM Server. For my tape drive I am using Sony AIT DC - this is a magazine with 4 cartridges. When I run my backup the tapes will not change I have to do this manually. I have check everything, SCSI ID, Drivers, make sure the tapes are reconized. This worked great before, I had a hard drive failure and since this time I cannot have this run on it's own - I have to change the tapes. Does anyone have any ideas???? I am using Windows 2000 Server. Thanks, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Hi Tapes will only change automatically if you run the backup as a script. Manually launched backups will not look for media in 5.5. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugby92 Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Good afternoon, I went and created a script, and again once Tape 1 is complete the magazine does not switch to the Tape 2, I manually have to switch the tape on the tape drive. As soon as I do this the backup will continue and the display will show the magazine with all 4 tapes and which tape is being written to. Any further help would be great.

natew Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hi Be sure to disable both the tape drive and tape changer in Windows device manager. Retrospect has its own drivers. The Windows drivers just get in the way sometimes. Thanks nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
