Not Appendable ( Media Full )

Hello,

We have backup exec 11d running on top win2k3 std 64bit with a certance2 robotic library. Currently 4 of the seven media slots says Not Appendable ( Media Full ) and most of the backups jobs remains queued.

How can I have BE to reuse this media? , what can I do to allow the backups to continue running?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like your jobs are all set to Append not Overwrite?  If so, this will happen  when the tapes fill up
 
Generally, if you want to run Append jobs, you also run an overwrite on a regular basis (Weekly Overwrite with daily Appends for example)

Dear Ken,

All backups are set to append to media, overwrite if not appendable media is available.

Changed to overwrite, but still the backup does remain queued.

Fixed it, change to overwrite and it took some time queued then started to run the backup.
