Hello,

i wanna backup the database every monday and thuesday on a tape (DB_MO) for
monday and (DB_DO) for thuesday.

the command "BACKUP DB DEV=DLTCLS02 T=F VOL=DB_DO SCR=N WAIT=NO" for
thuesday is a Admin Command Schedule.
the strange thing is that i always get the following error.. also when i
start it directly in the console.


adsm> backup db dev=dltcls02 type=full vol=db_do scr=no wait=yes
ANR0984I Process 81 for DATABASE BACKUP started in the FOREGROUND at
11:29:35.
ANR2280I Full database backup started as process 81.
ANR4583E Database backup terminated - output media full and scratch media
could not be mounted.
ANR0985I Process 81 for DATABASE BACKUP running in the FOREGROUND completed
with completion state FAILURE at 11:30:40.
ANS8001I Return code 8.

???
the tape DB_DO is empty and located in the library.. also there is a empty
scratch tape in this lib.
and the loader is OK.
