Backup Exec chooses the second tape from scractch media

Dears,

Hi

I changed  the "Media overwrite protection level" to "None" . Because Backup Exec wasn't writing full of tapes in different jobs.

I changed the " Media overwrite options" to " Overwrite media contained in the targeted media set before overwriting scrach media " because Baclup Exec wasn't picking medias which were assigned to media set.

I use "Append to media, overwrite if no appendable media is available " in job seetings.

My media set is Oevrwrite:1 Year and Append: 1 Month

Now backup Exec writes data on the associated media when starts but when the first tape becomes full, Backup Exec picks tape from scratch media.

How can I force backup Exec to pick the second tape also from the associated media?

 

Thanks

When you see the OPL to None, there is no write protection. You need to set it to either Partial or Full
