Hello,
Scratch media:
Media that can be overwritten by any backup operation and is in the Scratch Media set. Scratch media can either be new media, blank media, erased media, or media moved from another media set and will be displayed in blue under the Scratch Media set. Scratch media cannot be appended to. If Scratch media is used for a backup operation, Backup Exec automatically moves the media to the User Media set that was targeted during the backup operation. The media color will then change from blue to black, and the media will inherit the overwrite protection period and append periods for that User Media set.
You will need to import the new media in slot 7. This can also be scheduled.
Please refer the following technotes for additional information.
