Currently using a library where at any one time 10-15 tapes are loaded.
I want multiple jobs of differing types (diffs, fulls) to write to the same tape each evening.
Is there a way in BE10 Build 5520 that I can target the subsequent jobs (after the initial full overwrite job) to write to the same tape each nite?
The Media set currently is not overwrite protected and is set to infinite append.
In other words, for example, media set 1 comprises 5 tapes, 1 for each day of the week Mon. thru Fri.
I run my first job, and then I want my subsequent full and diff jobs to APPEND to the same tape each nite.
I've attempted this, but the subsequent jobs always want to use a different tape, eg., first backup job goes to Mon. tape for the initial full backup, then the jobs afterward always want to go to different tapes.
How I've been getting around this was by using partitioning to partition the library, setting up a job for each nite and telling the job to go to that particular partition to grab the tape, but this is cumbersome.
Thanks for your help.
