NetBack is not designed to use Mon tape, Tue tape and so on.
The idea of NBU is simply to throw a load of tapes at it, and forget about it.
if dun design on this way, how can i do like, monday backup data into this tape1, day2 backup another tape2 ?
Thanks

Why do you need each day's backup on a separate tape?
If you need to send tapes offsite, simply list the tapes used since previous day (using Tapes written report) every morning and eject them.
Keep an eye on expiration dates using the Tape Summary report (in Verbose mode) to know when tapes can be brought back
NetBackup has a Vault option that can automate all of this for you.
If you do not need to send tapes offsite every day, leave tapes in the robot, write all backups to the same pool.
This will append to previous written tapes until a tape is full. At this point NBU will request a new tape and carry on with backups.
