I'm running Backup Exec 9.0 on Server 2003.

Over the last few nights the backups have displayed as active when I've checked the foillowing morning, always at about 46.3GB, so I have to cancel them. The log then says:

Error reading file data
Media mount failed.

This is with different media

I'm running an insternal HP DAT72 with backup Exec settings as:

compression [hardware] if available, otherwise none

I'm wondering if the tape is running out of space and the job is just freezing.

 

Sorted

 

I know its sorted but moving up from 9.0 sorted a few problems for us, im sure it was 9.1 or 9.2

 

v9.0 was a load of rubbish, first troubleshooting step was always to remove and install v9.1

 

Yep, went up to 9.1.

I must admit the Veritas support forum is ****e.

Now I have to think about getting new streamer
