Hi folks, My customer has implemented an offsite strategy that calls for tapes from the previous night’s backups to be suspended after the backup cycle so that they can be completely replicated

Suspend prevents new jobs from selecting the tape. Although I’ve not seen this myself it makes sense to me that a suspend done after the tape was assigned would have no effect on that existing
Hello, You cannot change the attributes of a tape when the tape is in use. I had the same problem with you and my solution was to make the script to track the tapes that ware in use and exclude them
Thanks “smpt1”, I think we will integrate the script with VTL reporting to get a list of the tapes that are in the VTL when the suspend job is run, then we can run the suspend script agai
