    Have a read at these two links as to how DLM works -

    1. Disk-based backups used to always be overwrite, not append if I remember correctly from previous versions.

    2. Nothing, make sure the Robotics show up as Unknown Medium Changer in Windows Device Manager, and if using an OS like Windows Server 2008 R2, that the Symantec drivers are used for the tape drive. Use tapeinst.exe to install them.

    Thanks!
