When my daily database backup runs, it sometimes calls for a tape that has not 
come back from offsite yet.  This is the command I am using (we want to use the 
smaller J tapes instead of K):

BACKUP DB Devclass=3590 Type=full 
Vol=300260,300261,300262,300263,300264,300265,300266,300267,300268,300269 
Wait=yes      

This shows up in the log:

04/13/02 10:04:06     ANR1409W Volume 300260 already in use - skipped.          
04/13/02 10:04:47     ANR8308I 008: 3590 volume 300261 is required for use in 
library 3494A; CHECKIN LIBVOLUME required within 60 minutes.                    
                          

volumes 300262 through 300269 were in the library but it didnt call for one of 
them.
Is there a way to ensure that it only tries to use a tape that is in the 
library?
