Question

Rebooting a tape server during a backup may cause an error state for a specific Tape Cartridge, which may still contain data written before reboot. How to resolve the issue?

To resolve the issue, move the affected Tape Cartridge to the vault and then return it to the Tape Library. This clears the error status and allows the cartridge to be rewritten.
