this is not the first time i got this error, i have a SCSI DAT72 drive, and i keep my backup for a week, then i use the same media in the next week, (since i think the new job will overwrite the old date on the media) but seems it does not.
any idea how to solve this issue, i need to keep my data for one week, and i have to delete the media conetent (erase) before starting my job, how to automate this in my policy.
