NT backup / removable storage

[qb4006]

I'm using the backup utility (& removable storage)that
comes with Win 2000 Server to run a backup job to a DLT
tape. The tape ran out of space which generated a message
saying " add media to the free media pool" When I eject
the current tape and add a blank tape to free media the
system sees the tape but the backup job doesn't continue
to backup files.

Whats crazy is that the backup job is listed as "running"
in TASKS but nothing is happeing with the tape - its just
sitting there. How can I get the backup job to continue to
put files on the tape??????

Thanks for any help

This is normal behavior. See if

Thanks for the feedback. I usually had no problems in the
past when I know IN ADVANCE the job will take 2 tapes but
its unfortunate there is nothing to solve the issue when
you are caught off guard and have a backup that
unexpectedly needs 2 tapes
