Hello,
I have a single LTO drive and my backup does not fit on a single tape. I use quaterly alocation policy. The system works, but i have to anoying circumstances and my question is can I avoid them:
1. I would like the tape to be ejected when its full (not after each job) so I see that I have to put the next one in without checking the notifications
2. When I do not have enough tapes preallocated in the inventory. The jobs failes with "TASK ERROR: alloc writable media in pool 'Quarterly' failed: no usable media found" and as far as I see all the data written form the current job is written again, when I restart the job after I add a new tape. This is especially annoying when doing the first full backup which takes several tapes. The tapes are then full but when I restart the job it does it all over. Is it possible that the job just waits until I add another tape?
Is there a solution to these problems (especially point 2 would be nice)
Thank You
