Backup changes Media type at the time of backup and backup fails?
I have added new tapes for backup it is LTO-4 Ultrium RW hp tapes. I also done inventory on them as well and then assigned to specific backup to be taken on these tapes, and
then made its media type from BLANK to LTO. Here problem arises when i try to take the backup it automatically changes the media type from blank LTO to BLANK and taps do not take backups. When i see online media under media tab after this i can only see question mark(?) instead of tape mark on said taps. I also changed the taps as well but problem is same, i might be missing some thing to do
Please if anybody can help me in fixing this issue.
Thanks and Kind Regards.

You should always label your new tapes. Right-click on the tape, select Label and give it a label. Also leave it in the scratch media set. Do not associate it with any other media set.
