Backup to tape dialog freezes with Idle status

SYMPTOMS
When backing up large ammount of data to the tape drive, the tape progress dialog freezes with and 'Idle' status without performing any tape IO.
This status reflects the status of the tape hardware and has nothing to do with what the program is actually doing. Here this isn't an error; the program is generating the Table Of Contents that is to be written on the tape. It doesn't mean the program has stopped working.

CAUSE
Large ammount of files causes this delay. Run-time virus scanning also might slow the process too.

RESOLUTION
Try to disable your virus scanner if this stays for too long. Otherwise ignore it and the program shall perform the tape IO soon.

APPLIES TO:
GBM 8
