We use Arcserve for Windows 12.0. We backup about 15 servers. We do disk to disk using two FSD devices with Staging enabled to a single tape drive. I had two jobs configured that ran at different times. The label on the tape used to be BSD_I_Friday for the the Full which ran on Friday and BSD_I_Monday for the Incremental which ran Monday thru Thursday. Some one filled in for me while I was on vacation messed up the backup jobs. The tape labels I get back now are Friday and Monday and the Frday backups fails on the migration job because it won't use the tape used by the job that ran berfore it. I was wondering if anyone out there is familiar with Arcserve?

By the way CA BrighStor applies to ARCserve versions 7 to 11.5, as of 12.0 it is no longer a BrightStor product.

Could be the job was modified as a Rotation Job, and a media pool is associated with it. Since this is a very vast area to be explained, it would be best if you can give us the exact error you see in the activity log.
