Media_Loader Nomedia_Loader Use the Media_Loader qualifier to specify that the tape device receiving the backup file has a loader or stacker. Use the Nomedia_Loader qualifier to specify that the tape device does not have a loader or stacker. By default, if a tape device has a loader or stacker, RMU Backup should recognize this fact. However, occasionally RMU Backup does not recognize that a tape device has a loader or stacker. Therefore, when the first backup tape fills, RMU Backup issues a request to the operator for the next tape, instead of requesting the next tape from the loader or stacker. Similarly, sometimes RMU Backup behaves as though a tape device has a loader or stacker when actually it does not. If you find that RMU Backup is not recognizing that your tape device has a loader or stacker, specify the Media_Loader qualifier. If you find that RMU Backup expects a loader or stacker when it should not, specify the Nomedia_Loader qualifier.
