The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Brightstor ARCserve and Tape Libraries

Asked by CCongdon in Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: arcserve, tape

I have ARCserve 9.0 (Build 2040) installed on my server. I also have a Compaq 35/70 DLT Library (Which appears to be a Compaq branded HP C5173-7000). I'm pretty certain the library works as intended. It passes all the self-diagnostics, and ARCServe will even back up to the drive. I went through the Device Configuration utililty in ARCServe and set up the library. I made 7 Device Groups within ARCServe. The Device Groups are set up basically for 2 slots for each day of the week, and the 15th slot has a cleaning tape. When I tried to initiate a backup, ARCserve started backing up to the 1st tape in the group....then after it got to 72% of the job, it asked me to insert another tape. I had been under the impression that ARCserve with the Tape Library Option installed (which I do have) should auto-span.

I searched through EE and found a PAQ that said I should go into Windows Device Manager and disable the library and the tape drive in the library, then go back through the ARCserve device configuration and set the library up again. I did this, and I do not get any change in what happens. At 72% of my back up job, a message appears on the console asking for another tape.

This is getting very frustrating, especially since my server is no longer getting good backups. I have a LOT of customer data on this system, and I really need to get a backup solution going that doesn't require a manual intervention every morning... I thought that was the point of libraries....

Thanks.
