I’ve seen this kind of hang when the tape is:

Reserved by another job (e.g. duplications)

 

Is used by more than one stream of the original backup you are restoring.  We’ve seen this where say the 2nd stream failed and retried so ended up getting a tape on the retry that was previously used by stream 1.   In such a case the tape is being held to complete the stream 1 restore even if it is the 3rd tape used for that stream’s backup.   Stream 2 won’t start until stream 1 restore has completed because the tape isn’t “available” until then.    You can check the images for the backup if it was multistream and see if more than one of the images has this tape which would tell you this is the case.

Guys,

 

There is a sister company having an issue where they are performing a restore

from tape that was taken on Dec27th (so not expired) and the job is just hanging.

It is stating that it is mounting the tape and connected and then nothing.

I have created some necessary logs to view more info but if anyone has dealt with this

before please let me know some general things I can check.

 

Thanks

Jackson
