You can also enable "Auto Media Management" for your Jukebox or simple tape device.

If you enable it for a simple tape device, you can start your backup and insert an expired volume. Networker will then re-label it and overwrite it.

If you enable it for a jukebox, networker will consider the expired tapes when looking for a volume to backup it's data to. It will then also re-label and overwrite the tape.

doing save operations
Quoting Eric Horn <Ehorn AT CO.LUCAS.OH DOT US>:

You can re-label the tape which will remove the tape info from the
index.   If the tapes have room left on them (appendable in Networker
lingo), you can add more data assuming it is in the same pool as the
client to be backed up.   At least that is how it works on my version
(7.1.2).

Hello:

I am totally a newbie for networker. I have did a good reading of the
documentation, and there are some questions which were not answered.

1. How do make the tapes re-usable( I did some reading on "Browse and
Retention Policy" chapter, and it said that unless the tapes reach time
set
on browse and retention policy, tapes wouldnt be re-usable.

2. Once the time on Browse and Retention expires, how do we make the
tapes
re-usable.

Thanks,
