Thanks for the tip. <br />
<br />
I change tapes daily (one single tape) and never had a problem. It's a shame Backup Exec doesn't do some sort of periodic scan to check what tapes are loaded. <br />
<br />
I will try a scheduled inventory scan however this is a 6 day a week process so can't be good.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Dell DL2000 Robotic Tape Library and Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 and now have a need to use 2 tapes daily now as our data backups increase. <br />
<br />
What i have found is that Backup Exec does not see the 2nd tape yet it shows in the TL2000's console so the backup job stalls when the first tape is filled and asks to insert media. <br />
<br />
What i have also noticed is if i do a scan in Backup Exec it then finds the 2nd tape and the backup continues as expected but this is something i don't beleive i should have to do.<br />
<br />
So, does anyone know why Backup Exec can't see the 2nd tape without doing a manual rescan or does someone know how i can schedule a scan before each backup starts?

Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 &amp; Robotic Library issue

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
