Hi I was expecting backupexec to scan the media I inserted this morning... they are new media, not registered yet with backup exec's DB.
How do I tell it to look for new media and add to DB?
These tapes will be assigned to a media set I need them for.
BackupExec 20.0.1188.2718
Solved! Go to Solution.

Run an Inventory on the tapes and they should show up in BE. The Inventory will read the tape header and make a record in backup exec database and then console shows them. Let them remain in scratch media set --> Set the media set in the job and they would automatically be assigned to those media set.

The tapes were loaded 8 hours ago and I still don't see them in "All Tape Media details"
