Recycling windows backup tapes into backup exec 9.1
This may be an easy answer... However, I'm pretty new to BackupExec...
We just upgraded a server from Windows NT backup to BackupExec 9.1... We have old tapes that have data (that can be overwritten) that were written with NTBackup headers... When backupexec loads the tape, it says 'unrecognized media' and EJECTS the tape.
This leaves me with two questions... A) How do I prevent it from ejecting the tape when it's detected as unrecognized B) How can I get it to automatically reformat the tape into a backupexec format?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
