Challenge
When a backup repository is backed by an RDX removable storage device, the backup job may fail after the cartridge is swapped because the previously written backup file cannot be found on the new cartridge.
Cause
This issue occurs because repositories are not configured to be backed by rotated media by default.
Solution
Update the repository configuration to enable support for rotated media.
For more information, review KB1154: Veeam Backup & Replication Support for Rotated Media.
