Display Alert makes system 'hung til cleared'

[JustTryinToGetI]

I am using a tape drive that holds about 16 LTO tapes.

My issue is when I catalog a tape, sometimes the job will go on hold with an alert that it is looking for another tape.

Question:

How do I set these catalog jobs to automatically  cancel the job if not responded to in a certain period of time? (Othersise the tape machnie is unavailable to do nightly backups)

Thanks!

I am not sure you can do this in a Backup Exec version prior to Backup Exec 11 . refer  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH49560

There is no way you can do this.  You cannot set an auto-response for the Media Insert alert.
