Overwrite Tape whem forget to change

Thread needs solution

Hello,

we have a customer with Backup & Recovery 11.5 backuping his data on an HP LTO with 5 tapes (mo - fr).
They sometimes forget to change the tape and the backup is pending, because the new backup seems to be added to the tape and cartridge is full.
I have activated the option to overwrite tape on every autonom full backup and every backup is an full backup, but he will ask for an tape with enough space when it will not be changed.
It seens that the tapes will be overwritten when all tapes of the pool are used.

How can i perform to overwrite every tape?

Hello Josef,

sorry for the delayed answer.

Can you please create a screenshot of tape management and provide us with following information:

1) Exact tape drive model.

2) How many backup plans use this tape driver for backup.

3) Are there any retention rules activated?

4) How many machines are backed up.

Thank you.
