Description

Library Insert

The Library Insert alert is a request to insert overwritable media into the robotic library by using the import command.

Media Insert

The Media Insert alert is a request to insert overwritable media into a tape drive. Most tape drives provide status to Backup Exec when media is inserted, which clears the alert. Other tape drives do not generate this status and the alert must be cleared with a response.

Media Overwrite

The Media Overwrite alert is displayed when Media Overwrite Protection is configured to prompt before overwriting media.

Media Remove

The Media remove alert is a request to acknowledge that media has been removed from a tape drive. Most tape drives provide status to Backup Exec when media is removed, which clears the alert. Other tape drives do not generate this status and the alert must be cleared with a response.
