@Alan, NAKIVO's normal behavior when the job is complete the "Tape Cartridge" will move from the "Drive" back to the "Original slot". Please generate a new support bundle with the "Include main database" option and send it to us for further investigation. Besides, the additional information (Job/VM name, screenshots...) will be useful to speed up our progress. You can refer to this link: https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Support+Bundles You can also upload your support bundle to https://upload.nakivo.com/ Please specify your ticket ID #199264 in the description. We look forward to hearing from you.

@Alan I appreciate your patience. The current version (10.8) has no option to show the free space on the tape. This option is expected in the next release.

Hello, @Alan The best way would be to generate and send a support bundle ( https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Support+Bundles ) to support@nakivo.com so our Technical Support team can investigate it and forward your feature request to our Product Development team for possible future implementation. Thank you

Hello @Ottavio Passoni For now, it is still possible to create "Forever incremental" and "Incremental with full" types of repositories in NAKIVO. The only changes that were implemented in NAKIVO - are the default settings in which the repository is created. Previously that was "Forever incremental". Now it is "Incremental with full". Configuring repository type is done with the "Store backups in separate files" checkbox during repository creation. With the checked "Store backups in separate files" box, there will be created "Incremental with full" repository type. With unchecked "Store backups in separate files" box, there will be created a "Forever incremental" repository type. We look forward to hearing from you.

@Ottavio Passoni, your information/request has been received and forwarded to our Level 2 Support Team. Meanwhille, the best way for both sides would be to generate and send a support bundle (https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Support+Bundles) to support@nakivo.com so our Technical Support team can investigate it and forward your feature request to our Product Development team for possible future implementation. We will follow up with you shortly.

Hello @Martijn We appreciate your patience during our investigation. The VM(s) could not be bootable because of inconsistent backup created without App-Aware mode (quiescing). That's why we recommend always using App-Aware mode enabled(fail on the error) and performing VM/Screenshot verification every job run. Nothing can be done from our side to fix these backups, and we recommend starting new chains from scratch (old backups you can use for file recovery only). You can perform the following steps to achieve this: 1. Open the job for editing. 2. Select 2. Destination. 3. Open advanced options. 4. Select the VM with inconsistent points. 5. Disable tick 'Use existing backup as a target'. 6. Delete old backups or save them and start a new backup chain from scratch. We are looking forward to your feedback. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further information.
