Good morning / afternoon or evening all,
Here is the problem I got with my current environment running
OS: Windows 2008 R2 64bits
Backup Exec: BE2012 SP3
Storage: DELL TL2000 (2 drviers)
Configuration and Settings --> Backup Exec Settings --> Settings --> Storage
Media overwrite protection level
Checked - Partial - protect only allocated media
Media overwrite options
Checked - Overwrite scratch media before...
Backup Job options --> Storage
Media set: Keep data for 9 weeks and infine append
During the weekly full backup I encountered an error message "Please insert overwriteable media to the library...", all the scheduled job pending evening I found the tape library have at least 3 tapes with the status "Infinite - Allow append"
Temporary workaround I erased one media then the backup resume as usual. Anyone know what's going wrong here??
Solved! Go to Solution.

pkh appreciated with your update.
Please correct me if I get your answer incorrect. Even a appenable tape is available inside the tape loader but the BE2012 only take the first available and the next need to be a overwritable tape.

Understand your update but somehow I found some interesting thing happened last night.
I amended the following setting
Settings --> Storage --> Media overwrite protection level
"Checked" None
Everything seem OK...... let monitor for a few more days especially I have to wait until to next weekly full backup to confirm is the solve my problem.

When you set the OPL to None, you have turned off media protection. All your OPP and AP settings will not apply. Are you sure you want to leave your media unprotected? You might as well forget about doing any backups because they may be not available when they are needed.
