When you do that and you see that it is "requesting" that tape, look at
your Device Monitor-Pending Requests.

Right button click on the pending request and you will be able to assign
it to a particular Standalone drive.  This is only supported with
Standalone drives.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] import images from media in standalone drive?


Is it possible to import NB backup images from a labeled tape using a 
standalone drive?

The import utility tries to request the specified volume from the 
correct media server and drive but then errors out with a treq error.  I

assume this is because there is no way to tell NB that that the 
specified tape is already in the standalone drive??

This is getting frustrating...

thanks
