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

Hi Vinay
You have just described not being able to see the option when I actually asked why do you want/need the option as such you have not answered the my question.

You can use the Windows Scheduler to schedule the BEMCLI cmdlet, Submit-BEEraseMediaJob
