Overwrite Protection

PD001
Level 5

Backup Exec 2010, I have a media set with 2 tapes for daily jobs, I have the Overwrite Protection set to 6 days and Infinite Allow Append. At the beginning of the week each tape will get used once and then on the 3rd day the backup set will not use either tape even though thier is space available. Why will the backup job not append to each tape once data is written the first time?

Check if backup job is configured to "overwrite" or "append, else overwrite if no appendable media is 

available"  If its configured to overwirte then BE will always look for an overwritable media.
