Oh, wait a minute...this drive is IN the library?

Well, then what I would do is this.

Reconfigure the DOWN'd DRIVES to density type DLT2 (or whatever density you are 
using)

Keep the one you want to use DLT.

When you backup  using the Storage Unit that is of type DLT, then it will use 
the drive you want.

Am I closer?
