Please mount a blank media to continue the backup
Hello!

I created a job in ARCserve 11.5 - SP4 to backup 745GB and then 531GB is that it copies requested a second blank tape (see the screen in print http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z336/paulosouza55/please_mount_a_blank_media_to_continue_the_backup.jpg).

It run a Full Erase before starting the backup, but the problem persists.

I am using the Sony LTX400G 400/800GB tape.

Please can someone help me?

Thank you.

I think what you are saying is that you are getting 531gb on a 400gb tape (800 is completely made up based on 2:1 compression). So your stuff is not as compressable as 2:1. Totally normal. I've never gotten over 700 on a 400/800 tape.

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.
