Under what circumstances does Veritas Backup EXEC label Backup Media as Cleaning Media? Please advise as this has been a constant problem for us. Thank you.

Hello Ken. I don't know if this makes any difference, but it's not the Inventory function that labels these tapes as Cleaning Media. It's the backup operation itself. When a tape is loaded into the drive to be written to, Veritas ejects the tape and labels it as Cleaning Media. This happens regardless of whether or not the tapes (media) are brand new, or if they have been in use.
