Which version are you running? If it's the current version, do you have your tape drive set up properly under Removable Storage Management?

Sorry for the late answer.

I run the last version of true image (build 8.076). After a complte new installation now i can see my tape but it´s impssible to do a backup.
when i use the wizard to create a backup true image crash and close itself after i selected the tape unit, the backup typ and the options....

i do all steps like the chapter 3.7 of the manual.

my Acronis request number is #1395466

thank´s
Alex

 

This sounds very similar to what I see when I try running tape backups on an IBM LTO2 under Vista x64. What OS are you running?

BTW, I have reported my problem as bug 1419299, in case this helps you.

 

I´m running Server 2003 Std.

I don´t know why but now i could perform full backup without an crash.
(Server wasn´t restartet since the last test)
After backup i want to test the recovery. But if i click on recover and chose the tape device true image could not see any backup on the tape. i only see the german message "Kein Element zur Anzeige", no recovery is possible.

Is there any solution for the LTO2 problem? We would like to use Acronis True Image Echo Server + Recovery MSSQL on a W2k3 Server with integrated Tandberg OEM LTO2 (SCSI) drive. The otherwise working drive isn't recogniced by Acronis. The new server should be up and running within 1 week. So we have to decide between Acronis and other backup solutions. So is there any news regarding this issue?!
Yours,
Olaf

 

I am also in a similar situation with an IBM LTO2. The drive is recognized, but Acronis is unable to use it successfully. Other backup programs have no problem using this drive. I kept getting messages for a while from Acronis saying that the problem was being worked on, but it's been weeks since I've heard anything at all. Tape support was the main reason I upgraded from the Home to the Workstation edition. Could someone please tell us in detail what's happening here?

 

I've a similar problem on win 2000 server

test with different servers and different backup reader (DDS4, LTO2, LTO3)
The version is the last 8076, and backup reader are ok with backup exec

The trouble are not the same, when i install and uninstall the software.

i have three choice...

1- the backup seems to start, and after 5-10sec backup successuf completed (but not ok...for 5Go to backup)
2- Message appears on error (error internal like i ever read on a similar post)
3- yesterday, i've tried and a new version...the backup seems to start and notic 0% with the icone movement, but after 30min, its still in 0%...

I have sent to the support the log, but i think there's a big problem with the cartridge reader with the echo version.

I've tested with a CD boot, generated with the echo, and tried to back up and it's ok. The problem seems to come with the ATIES driver on windows.

 

Any support for Tandberg yet?
