Backup Central

Hi all,



I have a Networker 7.1.1 installation with RH 9 as OS and Exabyte VXA-2
Autoloader



The problem is that on the day a tape has to get automatically recycled, it
starts the process, the tape get mounted, data gets erased.followed by an
error - "No Tape Label Found". After this the tape does not get labeled so
neither is the old data available on the tape nor does the tape accept any
further backups.



We loose old backups and if we do not take care, no future backups happen as
well.any suggestions.



Regards,

Hi,

when you load a volume manually that will expire soon and issue 'scanner -v
/dev/something', what do you get? Here, it says

scanner: Opened /dev/nst3 for read
scanner: Rewinding...
scanner: Rewinding done
scanner: Reading the label...
scanner: Reading the label done
scanner: scanning LTO Ultrium tape 000205 on /dev/nst3

Is your scanner output similar?
