All of a sudden my catalog backup is using two tapes.
The parent job starts the two child objects. The first job completes in under 1 minute. The second job loads another tape and completes in just over 5 minutes. Up until the 5th of this month the second job would use the same tape. The catalog size is not the problem. Each backup starts at position 1 as you will see.

What platform and version of NetBackup are you running.
I had a problem similar to this when I defined a cleaning slot within our tape drive AND NetBackup Tape Alert was enabled (which it is by default).
