Help... Our backup server just started requesting a tape from the 'Default' pool, which we don't use... I suspect some user has started a backup on a client... How can I tell which client the save wa

Paul, A quick way to tell who is asking for a default tape is to label a tape and put it into the default pool. Load the volume into your storage library or drive, and watch via the sessions pane whi

Paul, I should have read your post more closely before my last reply. Is your target devices selected / not selected properly under the 'selection criteria' of the default pool properties? Keith -- "

Trying to do that now, but it failed to load/mount the tape I labeled... It threw an error when it attempted to mount the tape... (I hate tape libs when they screw up !!!) I've had to open the librar

Bingo.... Thank You Dave, That was apparently it, it was doing an 'incremental' bootstrap because the group that finished just minutes before had done a 'full' bootstrap. The pool did not have 'incr'

Good. Glad I could help. I generally leave all of the levels unchecked so any level can be backed up to a pool. I think if you're going to set specific backup levels for a pool then you probably shou
Hmmm... Bootstrap is "always" backed up at level full never incremental. Run mminfo -B and if you see any bootstrap at level incr, it's a BUG. Good. Glad I could help. I generally leave all of the

It may be a BUG as you say, but I guess an incremental bootstrap is possible, as I just witnessed it yesterday... It does kind of make sense to a degree, if a full bootstrap was done recently, why no
