We are backing up to tapes but more often then not the tape will be spat out and we will have an error like The requested media failed to mount. The operation was aborted.
which from what I can tell could mean the drive is full (doesn't looks like it as the drives ate ~700GB big).
We sometimes get this errors but other times it works.
We are running Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP? (the latest SP and updates)
But my question is, when I put in a tape each day (a tape for each day of the week) does it start from the start of the tape and start copying over data or does it continue off from where the last backup filled it up to?
I'm quite new to tapes and how they work, so links to good resources about how it works would be great too.
