Notice all volumes are appendable and Volume 1 is full. Is there a reason why 
the tape does not pick up say Volume 2 automatically when Volume 1 is full.

p.s. I manually recycled Volume 8 when it filled up as I could not backup 
anything else on to other tapes.

Do you guys suggest I:
1- Blank both tapes
2- Delete the labels and re-create the labels

Will this help the tapedrive to auto-select the next volume when one gets 
filled up?

Thanks for your help
