Hello,

You can schedule the export job. Refer the following technote.
Title:
Can utility jobs be scheduled in Backup Exec 9.x and 10.0 for Windows Servers?

You can run a Robotic Library Inventory report which lists the contents of slots in robotic libraries attached
to media servers.

I understand I can schedule the job. How do I know what pieces of media to export? If I have Three jobs that are pointing to the same media set and they need to be removed to go offsite, how do I know what tapes to remove? Let's say one job uses 4 tapes. The only way I know how to currently is go into the job log AND LOOK IN THE DETAILS. There has to be an semi-automated way to do this.

Please let me know if you can help.
