I see that permissions regarding overwriting or appending of media can be set in 3 different places:
Within the job setup
Within the media set assigned to a particular job
Within the Device configuration
Well, Kind of
In the job setup you specify whether the job will overwrite or append when it starts
The medai set specifies how long from initial allocation, that a media can be appended to (it is not reset by following jobs) or how long a media is protected from overwrite after the last data is written to it (is reset at the end of each append job)
I'm not sure how you figure that Device Configuration has any bearing on OPP and/or APP at all
For example if i "set a job" to append to media yet within the media set it is set to "overwrite" which permission will take effect?
The job specifies how BackupExec attempts to open each media, either for Overwrite or Append. The media set that the media belongs to and either it's allocation date or last update tume will determine whether the media can be used by that job
Used to be a Tech Note that explained ADAMM (Advanced Device and Media Management) but I can't find it right now. if I can, I'll edit this to add it
It is covered in the Admin Guide tho, see page 451
