Before continuing with the backup, check whether there are any console requests pending. Enter:
If the system responds with NO REPLIES PENDING, skip to the
"Temporarily Suspend Jobs" step below. If there are some console
requests that you have not yet answered, respond to them now. Refer to
Chapter 8, "Handling Media Requests," for information on answering media
requests. If you give users access to a device at this point, you may
have to wait until they finish their work before you proceed with the
backup.

 | NOTE:
For an online backup or a 7x24 true-online backup, you may still want to
make sure there are no outstanding console requests. You do not want
user jobs competing for backup devices when trying to launch your
backup. However, if you are performing a 7x24 true-online backup, and
know that the devices being requested will not be used for the
backup, you can reply to the console requests, and let the user's job
run during the backup. |
