Hello Everyone.
I have been battling this issue for more than a week now and i hope i can be provided answers:
I have a tape device HP Storageworks 1/8 2g tape autoloader.
I have a windows server 2012 with backup exec 2014 installed.
Initially i couldn't see the tape on backup exec, until i installed an backup exec updates and changed the medium changer driver from HP to Microsoft.
My cartridges are not labelled with barcodes.
And i also disabled barcode rules on the robotic library.
i normally insert the barcode on the robotic library
Again am using an LT0-5 cartridges, with 3TB but on backup exec they show up as 1.39TB and 1.39TB
I am trying to back up a server with videos on a folder with a size of 1TB
I started the backup job and when it gets to 625GB, it started verifying.
Should i be worried? because i was hoping it is suppose to backup the whole 1TB before it starts verifying?
Going forward what advice can you give, if i have poorly designed or deployed this.
NOTE: The reason i haven't used a barcode is because of the lack of any.
