Manual duplication to tape...

Hi, people. I´m duplicating some images from disk to tape. There are some tapes with media status Active, in the pool. This tapes has free space, but the Netbackup is taking new tapes from the scratch...

    I would NEVER recommend 'Allow Multiple Retentions'.
    It may look like a good idea when you don't have enough tapes, but sooner or later the tapes are going to fill up.
    Now you need to wait for images on tape to expire before you can reuse them. ALL images must first expire. Short and long retentions.
    Rather keep the default - do not mix retentions.
