Setup a tape erase before a backup job

[Christopher_H3]

Is there a way to automate erasing a tape and labeling it before the backup job starts?

Hello,

You can set a schedule to erase the tape but you cannot do it before running the backup job.

Please log an enhancement for the same:

Why on earth would you want to? This would completely bypass the Tape Management features of BackupExec, one of the reasons you bought a commercial product rather than just using a spreadsheet, right?

Set the OPP on your media sets so that when a tape us due to be reused, the OPP has expired. for dailies I use 6 days, for weeklies 27 days etc
