I have this issue occasionally...
 
Most often you need to re-mount the tape.  You can also check your
master server properties and make sure that backups can write different
retentions on the same tape (if this is the issue.)  Also, I would turn
on the option to not allow backups to span tapes.  I don't know why
ANYONE would use Netbackup to write to a standalone tape drive.  We've
got that configuration here for most of our smaller sales offices and
its nothing but a major PAIN IN THE @$$.  Anyhow... good luck! =)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Questions regarding Single drive backup



Hi. 

I have installed a new NB 5.0 server with a single tape drive.  I am
able to see the drive through NB. Also, i am able to configure a sample
backup and run successfully.   However, i am able to take any more
backups on the tape, actually the tape is not mounting on the drive.
In the activity monitor it says, mounting tape **** and it hangs, not
proceeding any further. 

I am not too sure how to proceed.  Request your help in going forward, 

Thanks 
Krishnan Subramanian
