If you sort out your overwrite protection and append period settings you should not need to schedule erases of mediaas BE will just overwrite the media as needed.

 

As such please describe your reason for needing to do a scheduled erase?

Seems you cannot schedule erase job now. Only supported ones are listed in Guide.

See Pg.410 of Admin guide
