Okay, it seems that any backup with a retention time of 2 weeks is being
rejected, but if i increase the retention time to a month, those backups
will run. Can images with different retention times live on the same tape?

Is it possible that I am 'full' of 2 week retention images?...

pardon my ineptitude but I've never spent the time to learn that much
about netbackup, it's always just worked...

Subject: Status 96 but i have available tapes

version 4.5 fp3 business server using sun L9 lto autoloader 

all of a sudden (as of last night at 2:20 am) netbackup thinks that there
are no storage units available. I have only 3 full tapes out of 9, and no
tapes are in a frozen state. I've put in the log directories for bpbkar,
bpcd, bpdbm, bprm, bpsched, and bptm at the request of sun support but
after sending them the logs I haven't heard anything back.

do you have any advice on what i should try next to kick this thing in the
head and make it start working?
