Hello,
If you have selected fo r the recyclable media to be picked up before the scratch media, backup exec will search for the recyclable media first in the targetted media set, if it is not found there it will look for the 'oldest' recyclable media in the other media sets.
You need to observe your media sets to check which tape is the oldest recyclable and which one is actually picked up by backup exec.
To isolate the issue you may configure partitions in the library. In case of partitions backup exec treats each one of these as if it were an idividual drive. SO you may target the job to the partition in which this tape resides. Backup exec will not in this case touch the other tapes belonging to other partitions.
