Are you sure it's not two different tapes with the same label? Try and erase one of them to see if it gets relabeled. You have to move the tape to the scratch media set first, then you can delete it.

No, for sure all labels are unique. I have no idea how it happened that I have two identical &quot;logical&quot; tapes under Media tab. Anyways I'll try deleting one of them by moving it to the Scratch media, we'll see what happens.

I can't delete them out of scratch media either. What other options do I have?

So far so good, cleaned up the tapes by going to Retired Media, then deleting. I'll let you know how the BEUtility works.

We have a Tape Drive that holds up to 16 tapes. A few of the tapes are being displayed twice in Media Sets. Why is this happening? How can I fix this? The DELETE option is grayed out!

Backup Exec Media set shows multiple copies of the same tape

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
