Backup to tape not used at full capacity

CAE123
Level 1

I am running BE2012 and seems that when comes to backing up to tape never fills tape to maximum example: media name "Duplicate_Full_backup", used already 8 tapes, one is completed full 1.38tb as for the other 7 tapes goes from 13.8gb used to 718gb used.  This is one example i have the same issue for staright to tape backup not being fully used. Attached is a screen shot of my Duplicate to tapes.

how many tape drives do you have in your library?

how are the settings in backupexec for media usage? first scratch media and then available media in pool? or other settings?

As well as Jurgen questions:

Do your jobs start as append?

What are the append and overwrite protection settings for the media set the tapes are in?

How frequently do the jobs run?
