BE 2010 R3. Only last tape used is ejected

Nick95

Simple configuration with 3 stand-alone tape drives.  These are in the "All Devices" pool and backups use this pool.  The backups are set to eject media.

However if more than one tape is used it is only the last tape that is ejected. Is there any way to get all used tapes to eject at the end of the job?

It is not wise to target your jobs to the All Device pool.  The All Device pool is a catch-all for all devices in your media server, including B2D folders.  This means that if you have B2D folders and you target the All Device pool, your backup data can end up in a B2D folder, instead of a tape.

In our very simple setup (no B2D) there is no point in setting up another pool.  When we added the third tape drive there was no need to re-configure any pool as it automatically added to the all-devices.
