Short: fresh install on Server 2008 Std.
Back up exec 2010 R3 with SP 4.
HP Tapeloader 1/8 G2, using backup exec drivers for the tapeloader.
Everything was working fine before the new install.
So after some basic fresh install issues you always have with backup exec, we finally got everything working.
Our customer is changing tapes every week, on monday.
So when they change the tapes, the devices (tapeloader) is shown as 'offline' in BE.
Before the new install this wasn't the case.
The only way I get it to work again, is to reboot the tapeloader, restart BE services, and only then does the backup run again without any problems, for that week. Week after, same story.
We're using 2 sets of 8 tapes.
Any ideas to solve this?
Any dirty workaround is fine, since you can read on the thread above it's only a temporary situation.
For all I know, a script to reboot the autoloader is fine for me, but that's outside of BE.
