That's pretty much what i'm trying to do honma, I just want to delete them, so I can re-add them!
</div>


<div>
And.. it worked! Many thanks :)
</div>


<div>
So I asked the user put in the Thursday tape so I can rename it to Thursday in Veritas, but he accidently put in Wednesday. The issue now is that the tape device only sees Wednesday, even when it has been since ejected and swapped with Thursday.<br />
<br />
Any idea why this might be?
</div>


<div>
Correction, i've managed to clear out the Wednesday tape, I had to send it to some sort of &quot;Eject&quot;media, kind of odd but I went for it, and it worked.<br />
<br />
Now the user has put in the Thursday tape, but the tape drive cannot detect it. Any clue why this might be? If you have an idea, let me know, and I will start up a new Question and link to it in here.

<div>
Have you done an inventory?<br />
If you physically insert a tape in a drive Backup Exec will not immediately show it in the GUI. But if you run an inventory on the tape drive, it will show.<br />
<br />
FYI, the fact that the tape does not show in the GUI after you physically inserted it in the drive, does not mean the backup will fails. When Backup Exec starts a job, it will check the contents of the tape drive and realize that the tape has actually been inserted.

<div>
Didn't realize you had to initiate an inventory, seems odd. Did that and got it all recognized.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Our Backup Exec program has identified four tapes so far (we have more to put in). <br />
<br />
What I am doing is renaming the media as it gets placed into the server, as we have physically labeled the tapes with each day of the week. So far we have Tuesday and Wednesday tapes entered into the server, but when Thursday tape was put in, it didn't register. I noticed there were two other tapes that have been recognized in the past by the server, the same type and brand of tape, but of course were not labeled. I suspect that that the Thursday tape is actually one of these already identified tapes that have not be renamed, and that's why it doesn't show the tape with the time it was placed into the server.<br />
<br />
I want to simply delete these two older identified tapes, so I can place them back into the server, and have it identify them, and then allow me to rename them.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Cannot delete found media

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.
