Hi There I was wondering if it possible to change a Data sets (Tape Set) Retention time to Permanent from a four week original?
I have a full backup of a server that i now need to keep and dont want may tapes to be over written. How do i go about this?
Any help would be appreciated
many thanks

In addition to the above, you could enable the write-protect switch/slider giving an extra protection to the tapes from being overwritten.

You should have a media set called Keep Data Infinitely - Do Not Allow Overwrite. If somehow it got renamed or changed you can create a different media set and set it to Keep Data Infinitely - Do Not Allow Overwrite and then associate the tape that you don't want to protect.
see this document for how to create a media set: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO22319

... then associate the tape that you don't want to protect
I think this should read, "... then associate the tape that you want to protect with this media set"

Many Thanks for that, will it erase whats already on there? Because thats what i need to keep?
Also will my restore function know that the media set has moved and where to?
Many thanks in advance
