One of the jobs was set to &quot;overwrite media&quot; rather than &quot;if no appendable media available then overwrite&quot;. As soon as I changed the configuration the tapes stay in their media sets.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

One of the jobs was set to "overwrite media" rather than "if no appendable media available then overwrite". As soon as I changed the configuration the tapes stay in their media sets.

Hello,<br />
I am using Backup Exec 12.5 with a Quantum multiloader 3 it is a 16 bay backup drive. I am having a problem with media tapes changing media sets which means the backup jobs are written to incorrect tapes. I keep manually associating the media with the correct media sets at the moment and would like to make sure media stays in the correct set. All tapes are labelled with a bar code which associated with the media on Backup Exec however media keeps changing media sets.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to resolve this?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Backup Exec media changes media sets

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.
