Help setting up backup to library

Hello all,

I am trying to setup a backup to an IBM TS3100 tape library. The goal is to have Full and Incromental backups. I have setup everything but it seems to not be working as I had expected. I want to backup to starting at tape 001 and as more space is needed then take the next tape from the pool. what is happening is that it backups about 40gb of data then wants another tape. the tape holds aprox 1.5tb each. Thinking I have messed something up here and cant seem to find a solution I figured I would ask here if someone could help me with this setup. (win serv 2019)

Thank you in advanve for your time.

Terry

It could be that your job is appending to the tape.  You might want to try overwriting the tape instead.

Do read the tape management section of the BE Admin Guide.
