Hi,

if i label new tapes under "Backup Devices" -> "Tape Drive" something happens on my Quantum Super-Loader-3, but after this has finished i get the following error under "Backup Device Tapes":

"Error: No tapes To use this device you must label a tape first.".

Does anybody know whats going wrong here ?

Hi Stephan

the following steps are needed to create a backup:
Enable backup Settings
Create a virtual Tape
Create new Pool
Create new tape by choosing the pool name assigned to the backup
Create a backup Task
Create a backup Task

Solution for me:

The Error was probably that the Backup-Database was corrupt or not correct initialized.

I disabled "Local Backup" under "Open-E Gui" --> "Konfiguration" --> "NAS Einstellungen" --> "Einstellungen für lokales Backup".
Deleted the Logical Volume where the database was stored.
Created new Logical Volume for the backup-database.
I re-enabled "Local Backup" again.

Labeling of tapes works now.

Thanks for your reply.

Stephan.
