I run into this issue all the time: I'm in the middle of a backup and every tape in our library is full. I get the
"Use the import command to insert overwritable media that supports hardware encryption into the robotic library.
Overwritable media includes scratch, blank, and recyclable media. Depending on the current Media Overwrite Protection setting, imported and allocated media may be overwritable as well. Consult the online help for more information on overwritable media."
warning.
So then I remove some of the full tapes from the library and add blank tapes. If the backup job wasn't running, then I could click scan (I use barcode stickers) and the tapes would appear in BE. However, because the backup is only halfway complete, I am unable to do anything with the new tapes, other than cancel the backup job, and then scan the tapes and then run the job again.
I've seen other posts with the same issue, but no answers. Is there any way to keep the job going and have BE see my new tapes?
Any help would be appreciated.
