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.
