Acronis True Image with tape storageworks 160 usb : ejecting after backup

Hello,

We have acronis true image with a tape driver hp storageworks 160 usb, we have 5 medias prepared for each day.

I have planned 5 tasks in acronis to save each day, I want to acronis ejecting the tape when the backup is finished.

I haven't found the option to do that. How can I enable this feature ?

Thanks

I didn't found it, too in TrueImage Server 9.1 latest build.
It would very appreciated if Acronis could build in this feature!

My Ti11 Home has the ability to invoke POST-commands.

If you have a program which is able to eject a tape you can invoke this after backup task.

 

Thanks for the tip!
For tape drives i found a little program that can eject my tape:

DESCRIPTION

In investigating the Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 ntbackup program to perform
backups, I noticed that you can retension a tape from the ntbackup GUI, but
there is no command-line equivalent. Hence TAPEUTIL.EXE.

TAPEUTIL is a Win32 console (command-line or text-based) program that can:

* Detect if a tape is inserted
* Eject the currently inserted tape (if supported)
* Retension the tape (if supported)

SYNTAX

TAPEUTIL [-e | -r] [-q] drive_number

-e Eject the media from the drive.
-r Retension the media in the drive.
-q Run quietly (no output).
drive_number The number of the tape drive, numbered 0 through 9.

Probably it also works with USB drives...

@Forellenblau
Try it.
The result would be interested for me...

 

@MrMorse
It works great with my private SCSI DAT4 HP72 Drive.
With my LTO3 Ultrium i didn't test yet (it's in the office) - i will try it in the next new days.

@MrMorse

I tried it now with my Ultrium LTO3 HP Tape Drive and it's working perferctly.

Danke für den Tipp!

Thx for the help but my tape drive is an USB and when I use tapeutil to eject the media, it eject the drive itself ...

Even the ejecting thing, acronis doesnt want to save on media 9 times on 10 ... I dont understand why it doesnt recognise the drive or media when the save begins ... This soft is buggued I think I will replace it by backup exec.
