Product(s): Backup Exec
Problem
Backup Exec and Support for LTO9 tape media.
Solution
Backup Exec supports LTO9 tape media with the following caveats:
1. A 'Long Erase' job executed from Backup Exec may timeout if the job takes more than 18 hours. The job will timeout but the erase operation will continue on the LTO9 media till it is completed.
2. Running the 'Initialize' job against brand new LTO9 tape cartridges may timeout if the job takes more than 16 minutes. The job will timeout but the Initialize operation will continue on till it is completed.
Note:- It is recommended to use already initialized LTO9 cartridges in Backup Exec. This can be done outside of Backup Exec using the vendor provided portal.
