Remove/Eject Media in BE 2010?

WorldBuilder

Hi all,

This is probably something simple that I'm missing, but I use Backup Exec 2010 with an attached StorageTek L20 tape library.  All working fine so far...

But...

When I'm in BE, how do I eject media?  I can not find a way to do it from the software.  I can open the library and remove whatever I want without using the software, but doing that forces me to re-inventory the library each time.  Can't I ejecet tapes one at a time from BE so that it always knows what is where?

Thanks!

Chris
