I also had this issue. After checking the default media (Media Views, Default)

I found that I had two media with the same name. After I did a retire of
the
one we do not use anymore the append job worked fine again...

I've made the changes suggested here and am still experiencing the same
problem where it won't append. Any other setup changes I can make?
This all started on 3/5/7 for me after the jobs have been working
flawlessly for months.
Mark

Same issue although the failure was on Sat night 10 Mar. Due to admin restrictions
my media was already set to no protection. I setup and ran a full backup
yesterday on the chance that the DST issue may have interferred. Stilll
have the same issue, failed last night with Appendable media not found.
Nothing in BE looks out of the ordinary. Any help out there?
