[. . . ] For backup jobs, TapeWare uses the selection criteria and the backup job type (whether full, incremental or differential) to create a list of files to be backed up. The number of files and the total size of the selected files are indicated in the Objects and Size fields under Selected. Objects and Size fields Mounting Media TapeWare displays this message as it mounts the media. During this step, TapeWare reads identification information stored on the tape. TapeWare then checks to see if the media already exists in the storage management database and whether or not the current job can be run using this media. If TapeWare can use the mounted media with the current job, it proceeds to the next step. If the mounted media cannot be used for this current job, the next step is determined by the settings specified on the Options tab for the job. For example, TapeWare only formats a blank tape if that option is selected. Scanning for Device This message is displayed when TapeWare is looking for a device to use with the current job. This message might be displayed when the current media cannot be used with this job or when TapeWare cannot find a device on the network. You can view any current alerts by clicking the Alert button on the Status bar. Formatting Media If the media is already formatted, TapeWare proceeds to the next step. Otherwise, TapeWare formats the media according to the Auto format mode setting on the Options tab for the job. Opening Device Once the media is mounted and formatted, TapeWare readies the media and device for the job. 146 TapeWare User's Guide and Technical Reference ® Running After opening the device, TapeWare runs the job. As the job is run, the Status window automatically displays current information about the job, including which files are being backed up, restored or verified, which streams are active and the rate (or throughput) at which files are being written to media or volumes. You can use the Display list box to check the progress of individual streams or the throughput of a specific device. Waiting for Next Pass If some files were not backed up, restored or verified during the first pass, such as when they are being used by other users, TapeWare attempts to access these files on subsequent passes. This message is displayed while TapeWare waits for the number of seconds specified in the Delay between passes field on the Options tab of the job. Closing Device When TapeWare closes a device, it displays this message. Building Logs and Audit Trails After closing the device, TapeWare updates the storage management database with new information from the job, such as which files were backed up, and creates a log of the job. The specific log contents depend on the Log options setting on the Options tab for the job. Merging Groups After a backup job has run, TapeWare updates the storage management database to reflect any changes to media or files created by the current job. Prior to running a restore or verify job, TapeWare sorts all the selected files into the order in which they appear on the media and displays this message.
