Job Stops with "Loading Media" Status, Error 58061

The daily has the appen with overwrite while the weekly has overwrite settings
Ahh
You are appending DIFFs to the same tape. I can see where that could cause capacity problems. You may need to change your strategy to two DIFF tapes, say Mon-Tue and Wed-Thu with a weekly FULL
If I'm understanding correctly, the job tonight would write the 10GB of space appending to the end of the tape, then it would ask for another tape to write the remaining 2GB?
Sounds right
when would the overwrite actually take place
When backup Exec detects the end of the tape
I assumed it would append until it was full, then start overwriting on the same tape over the older backups.
Nope. if it did that it would essentially quick erase the tape and all the data from the first part of the job would be gone.
