Hi All,
We are currently experiencing an issue where monthly tapes are not overwritten properly despite the policy being correct.
My scenario and question is,
We have a GFS rotation in place, when it comes to the monthly backup it will fail with an "insert overwritable media" (a different issue not asked here).
With a library, is there any way you can insert obverwritable media?
The problem I am having is that if you insert overwritable media in the slot, backup exec does see it as an inventory on the library would have to be performed but I cannot do that as the monthly backup has started. The only way I can recover is to manually fail the monthly (manually double click into all 16 servers) and fail each one, then inventory the library, the edit all the jobs so the monthly occurs again that day, leave the monthly to run, then re-edit all the jobs so that they occur on the correct day again.
Surely there must be an easier way than this?
Any help much appreciated.
