Thank you very much for your tips and help. But nothing helped.Ĭan i automated this? When a script is used, do i have to setup the windows scheduler for this script or can i do that in Veeam B&R (something like "start this script before that job")? I just inventoried, marked it as free and moved it to the customer media pool manually. It doesn't matter which tape i take, Veeam recognizes it as "Unrecognized" and do nothing until i mark it manually as free. With this i think the tapes should be now known by Veeam B&R.

If the tapes are online in your tape device, Veeam Backup & Replication will get the needed data automatically. This section will guide you through all steps of the wizard and provide explanation on available options. give a name to this tape (for example "Monday 1" etc.) To restore backups from tape, use the Restore Backup from Tape to Repository wizard. What i already tried at the customer site is that: But with the information given there i'm not sure how to fix the problem, since i'm not so aware of Powershell. I already search the forum here and found the thread. I have to right click the loaded tape and mark it as "free", then the backup to tape job starts immediatly. A tape is loaded, but Veeam B&R puts it in the "Unrecognized" media pool and so the backup to tape job wont start. The tapes where used by Backup Exec before and should now be used by Veeam B&R tape job.Įverytime the backup to tape job starts, it is waiting. The customer has a LTO-6 tape drive connected to the backup server and LTO-6 tapes. Things work well except backup to tape job. First there is a backup to disk job (reverse incremental) followed by a backup to tape job (always the last backup state, which means the "calculated" full backup of reverse incremental backup to disk job). Since they had Veeam B&R for Backup to Disk and Symantec Backup Exec for Backup to Tape, i combined both with Veeam B&R. A few days ago i changed the backup solution at a customer site completely to Veeam Backup & Replication.
