"Waiting for media" sometimes means "Erasing optical disk"


Recommended Posts

I started a backup to an optical (DVD+RW) media set. I inserted a disk and saw the script status change from "Needs media" to "Waiting for media". It's stayed there for a long time.

 

I think Retrospect is actually making progress, because if I look at the Storage Devices view, it says "Erasing".

 

But the script status is somewhat misleading. I think it would be great if instead of "Waiting for media" it could say "Erasing media" when appropriate to avoid confusion (and calls to support ;-).
