I believe the default NB behavior is to only put images with the same
retention on a tape.  You can change this, but I would not recommend it
unless your media stays in the library and is not vaulted or stored offsite.

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...

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?
