BE16: Duplicate, identical media-id on different tapes
Hi, for one backup server I recognized, that there are several tapes, that have an identical Media-ID (German: Medien-ID). Reading up the manuals I can only find statements telling, that it's impossible to modify the Media-ID. The result of this situation is, that these at least three groups of 2 or 3 tapes are the exactly same tape from the point of view of BE16, even though they are physically different tapes. here: Tape "January" and "February" are one "pair-of-identical-IDs", so are "March" and "April", and "June", "July" and "August". Q1: How is ist possible, that this happens at all? Q2: Howto fix the wrong (identical) Media? Q2a: Or if this is not possible with BE16, can I "low level format" with some tool running on Windows 2016 Server Standard, to get rid of these wrong, identical media IDs?
