Within the job setup
In the job setup you let BE know that wheather you want to "append" "overwrite" or "append, if no
appenable media then overwrite". So as per the selection BE looks for the media in the media set
which is linked with the job. If you select the job to overwrite and if no overwritable media is available in
the media set then BE will look for an overwritable media in the scratch media set.
Within the media set assigned to a particular job
In the Media set you just specify how long you need to protect data and append data.
Within the Device configuration ( Actually its in Media Management)
In BE console, Tools->Options->Media Management-> Set the "Overwrite Protection Level"
If the level is set to "Full or Partial" then the above settings will come in picture. If "None" is selected
then Backup Exec will override all the rules and settings applied in the Job and Media set.
