Ok, tried again last night. I was a little rusty on the issue but now it's a bit fresher.
I had 5 tapes (in total) all in scratch that were freshly erased.
And it just sits there and does nothing when the job came around.
I moved the tapes into Media Set 1 and it just sits there because they have overwrite protection. I had to force the overwrite protection off to get things going.
But if I recall, when I go to bump it back up to 1 week protection all tapes won't get used for a week.
Why doesn't it use the information from the tape rather than from the action of putting them into the media set or changing properties on the media set, every time I touch the properties everything is reset?
This is extremely frustrating.
I swear when I first installed the demo version everything worked fine.
After I upgraded to the retail version I ran into this problem.
Both are 10.1d.
No matter what I do, if I want overwrite protection, for a week I have to SKIP!! a week of backups to prime it. Once primed it works ok.
