Replying to Console Requests
Before continuing with the backup, check whether there are any console
requests pending. Enter:
:RECALL
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.
