B2D-file selection?

[Dick_Svensson]

How is the backup to disk file selection done by backupexec?

I currently have a B2D-folder holding the backups from 1 server. And it creates about 20 files (1-Gb each). But when I run the backup again it reuses the "virtual tapes" (files) again as it should, but in a "random order". If file 1 was allocated at 10:55 AM and tape 2 11:50 AM etc.. The next time it runs it can be tape 3 that's beeing used first.

Is there any way that I could control the order in which the tape are allocated?
