Internal Tape drive backup

[To-M]

What if you delete all the tapes and start over then they are listed for the 5 tapes then you should be able to select the 1 tape and label it then use that in the backup devices. Are you running the latest release - 5087?

I don't have a library. Just a tape drive.
No, I use the previous version, but regarding to the release-notes it shouldn't be the point.

I have to be physically in front of my tape device, insert the first tape, label it (open-e), eject, insert the next one, label it, etc. right?

single tape unit...... yes.

Each have to be labeled and you will have to be near it to eject.

OK. I will try it tomorrow.

So long - best,

Labeling works now, but It was necessary to erase and retention every tape..a bit weird.

Scheduled and Manual tape backup onlyworks every few times - there will be no error - the tape backup task never ends....
