New Tape for Each Backup

[John_Knechel]

I am running Backup Exec 9.1 for Windows Servers. My tape backup is an Exabyte 1x7 LTO autoloader. I want to know if it is possible to have each night's backup write to a separate tape instead of spanning tapes. My backups will easily fit on a single tape. I want to always go to a new tape for the next night's backup. How can I do this?

To use a new tape each night, set the job properties to "overwrite" rather than append.

If you want to target each night's backup to a specific slot, partition the library, then create a job for each night, pointed at the appropriate partition rather than the library as a whole
