Hello,
1. Are you taking backups to disk or to an external tape.
2. Backup exec does not automatically label a tape. Only a new tape is allocated a label the first time it is used.
3. Any tape that is shown in blue is a tape that is overwritable the one in black is Protected aginst overwrite.
4. When your tape becomes blue it means that the tape has become overwritable and that it has probabely been overwriteen and reused.
5. Please check if the job where it changes is set to overwrite or append, and the OPP and the AP on this tape at that time.
