I need a solution
Hello,
As per vendor new lto6 storage capacity of 2.5 TB (native) and up to 6.25 TB (compressed). i belive the compression is enabled by default. so we run the backups to that pool and noticed few tapes exceeded 2.5TB ( Attached the screen shot ) which is good but when i run another client backup to same pool/media it failed
stating unable to allocate new media.
Question - We know that no other scratch tapes are available for LTO6 but why can't the new backup job utilize the existing LTO6 media because there is plenty of room in there? any sort of setting required in policy to check the writable/used tapes before checking the scratch tapes ??
