binba Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm trying to run a backup job on our 24-slot library and have no desire to drive to the location to click "Proceed" for every tape change. It seems like the script is "stuck" on Interactive mode - when I choose "Unattended" from the menu it asks for the admin password, and then stays on "Interactive". This happens whether I launched the script manually or as part of a schedule. Retrospect 6.1.230 Driver Update 6.1.16.100 Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 Dual 2.66 GHz Xeon, 4GB RAM Tandberg StorageLibrary T24 with IBM HH LTO4 SCSI drive, latest firmware for both. Time to go home now, I spent 3 hours on making Retrospect change one LTO tape.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 It's not clear what you are doing here. I have never had to click "Proceed" for every tape change. What do you have set for Special > Preferences > Unattended ? Just what "Menu" are you using to choose "Unattended" ? Is this a backup server script or a scheduled script? Perhaps have you chosen to "Lock Application" so that the password is needed? Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binba Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 We use scheduled scripts. While a job is running, there is a Control menu, and under it "Run interactively" and "Run unattended". Ever since I noticed that option, I've never seen or been able to switch it to "Unattended." I'll look at the settings later once the job is complete. Due to other issues I intend to trash the preference files anyway, maybe it has to do with this too.
