Tapes that are infinite append are now NONE

curtis1
Not applicable
Backup Exec 8.5.  The media set is designated Infinite append.  Now all the backup jobs are stuck in the morning asking to load tape.  I even bought new tapes, added them to the media set, they show as being infinite.  This morning I come in and it's asking to load a tape, and sure enough, it's set to NONE.
It gets to around 16GB of a 17-18GB backup.  I'm using 24GB tapes, I often got 21GB on them so that's not the problem.

here's the log:

When adding new tapes, inventory them and leave them in the scratch media set so BE can use them when it needs to.  If you move them into a media set, they acquire the properties immediately.
