Hello all
Environment

OS: Redhat 2.6
Hi dear friends
We are trying to add media server to the master server..
As per guide we installed the netbackup software to new media ...

Check mark "Allow multiple retentions per media" in master server host properties.
NO, NO, NO!!!!!!
This resolves problem in the short term but creates major issues in the long run.
A tape with some daily backups and short retention (e.g. 2 weeks) that is mixed with long term (e.g. 5 year) retention cannot be re-used when daily backups expire - only after ALL backups have expired can tapes be re-used.
