Tape ejects before verify complete

[abruce]

We have several client servers and two of them are ejecting the tape after the back up but before the verification process. Then will wait until you reinsert the tape before doing the verify.
I can not find a diffrence in these two servers and why they are the only ones to do this. I need to figure this out because our clients are beginnning to get frustrated that they run the back up at night and the verify in the morning.

Check the configuration to see if it is set to eject the tape after backup. If it is, un-check that and try again, the put the eject in the verufy job.

By the way, why are the backup and verify operations being run separately? A time lapse between the two jobs would almost garrantee failure of varify.

They are nopt being run seperatley. It is one job after the backup runs it is ejecting the tape and you have to put it in again for it to verify and finish the backup job.
