Not overwriting overwritable media
I've seen this topic before and have not been able to solve my problem.
Background:
Running B/E 2010 R3 SP4 on W2K8 R2 Standard
One Tandberg Library, Backup to Disk and a Deduplication Storage Folder.
Weekly Backups are configured to run to the Dedup folder. OPP is six days.
Tools | Options | Media Management set at Partial/Prompt for imported overwrite
Overwrite recyclable meda before scratch.
Media set for "Dedupe Weekly" job has 68 "Media Labels" of which ALL are "Overwritable"
Media set Scratch has 23 "Media Labels" also all Ovewritable.
All are 50 GB each.
I get "Open Storage device is out of Free Space" alerts.
If Overwritable, why no overwrite. I suppose I could "erase" all the media that is older than six days.

What else is necessary to trouble shoot this issue?
OK, I blew away my deduplication folder and made it a Backup to Disk folder. I have lots of space and will just keep the last couple of months on disk. That will solve my space problem and I'll be able to restore to disk quickly if the request is for reasonably recent data. An upgrade is in the works.
