I'm wondering. If I have a tape that NetWorker has marked as "FULL" ..

will that tape then become recycable, like other non-full tapes?
I've always just manually marked it as recyclable after the 2 month
period, and then ran a script to re-label all recyclable tapes. Mostly
because I thought that, being FULL, NetWorker would never use the tape
again.
Yes? No? I'm being silly?
It depends.
If there are any backups on other media that are not expired and need a
saveset on that tape, the tape will not be marked as recyclable. If you
marked the tape as being manually recyclable when you labeled it, the
tape will not be marked as recyclable.
