Thank you, this is great. I use the Duplicate method.
I understand what you suggest: both Full and Incr on each tape - I had never thought of that style of approach before. However I do remove the FULL tape to offsite the next day to cover risk of fire, flood etc. Leaving the FULL in the machine for the week would expose me to this risk again. Can I still have two tapes for FULL, one for INCR all in the same media set? I would then only rotate the FULL tapes. What would I need to set APP and OPP to? Sorry for being dense but I have not grasped the logic of this yet! I'm off to read the manual again... thanks for your patience.
Also I note that you make the OPP just (number of tapes * days in week - 6). This is great news as I always have an issue with the OPP/APP if a job overruns or needs running again for some reason. I just took off one day from the total days, but if it is safe to take off 6, then all events should be covered.
