I need a solution
I have just changed tapes for the first time. For the last month my backups ran pretty smooth. Now, it seems to be requesting some of the old tapes to perform any new backups. I tried manually performing a one time full backup to tape on one of the servers to see if that would let me back it up but it would not run. I have created two media sets, one for daily incremental backups and one for weekly full backups. I set half of my tapes to the full set and half to the incremental set.
Why does it require the old tapes to continue backing up my servers? How am I supposed to change tapes if it requires the same old tapes?
