HP B6960-90078 manual Unexpected Mount Request for a Standalone Device, No previous full backup

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Backup and Restore Sessions

	No previous full backup
	Before performing an incremental backup of an object, Data Protector
	requires a full backup. Data Protector uses a full backup as a base for
	comparison to determine which files have changed and consequently
	need to be included in the incremental backup. If a protected full backup
	is not available for this comparison, a full backup is performed.
Action	Set the protection for the full backup.
	The description has changed
	An object is defined by the client, disk, and description. If any one of
	these three change, Data Protector considers it as a new object, even if
	the client and disk are the same, and Data Protector performs a full
	backup instead of an incremental.
Action	Use the same description for full and incremental backups.
	The backup owner is different
	If your backups are configured to run as private, the person starting the
	backup is the owner of the data. For example, if USER_1 performs a full
	backup and USER_2 tries to start an incremental backup, the
	incremental backup will be executed as a full backup. This is because the
	data for USER_1 is private and cannot be used as a base for the
	USER_2's incremental backup.
Action	Configure backup session Ownership in the Advanced Backup Options
	for the backup specification. The backup owner should be a user from the
	Admin user group. This will make all backups owned by this user,
	regardless of who actually starts the backup session.

Unexpected Mount Request for a Standalone Device

There are several situations, described below, that may cause Data Protector to issue a mount request for a standalone device while media are available in the backup device.

The media in the device are in a media pool that has the Non

Appendable policy

Even though there is still available space on the media, the media will not be used because of the Non Appendable policy of the pool.
