Cannot Append Data even if Storage is appendable

Hi guys,

Why do i always get the message "Please insert overwritable media into the robotic library using the import command." even though i still have a lot of other free storage. I already increased the append period for them but I do not know why during backup operation it always look for storage.

Could you help me with this problem?

Thank you in advance!

In the attached screenshot check the Overwrite Proctected Untill column, top 3 tapes are

overwrite protected till next month. Backup Exec will prompt for an overwritable media in below cases...

1) If the job is configured to overwrite and there is no overwritable media available in the library.

2) If the job spans across multiple tapes then 2nd tape onwards BE will prompt for an overwritable media.
