I have a job that is kicked off manually every day .. (I have Tivoli monitoring this particular backup.)

 

I have 36 streams writing to 18 tape drives.  Every now and then I get a media error (status 84) on a drive which causes two streams to fail (since they are multiplexed).  The tape drive is automatically cleaned; however, netbackup does not attempt to restart the job.  These errors always occur outside of business hours and so when I come in, the job is always in a 'failed' status and I have to restart from the beginning.

 

Do jobs not try to restart when they get a status 84?
