Additional observation:
I insert the required tape into the drive
-> the drive loads the tape
I start incremential backup job
-> the drive is moving the tape to end of data
Spooling datas starts
-> after some time, the drive rewinds the tape back to the cardridge
*(is there a drive idle and can I configure it?)*
Spooling is finished
-> the drive is moving the tape to end of data
-> despooling starts.
Any ideas to set the idle time of a tape drive?
Thanks and all the best, Frank
