If I understand the question correctly, if you set a drive which is usually
HCART3 and then change to HCART2, NetBackup treats the drive as HCART2 - but
I do not think it will load any HCART3 tapes in the robot.

The reason why I say this, is because I had to perform a restore using an
old HCART tape - drives are set for HCART3 - if the density is not changed,
Netbackup refuses the restore.

If I change the density to HCART, netbackup uses the drive for the restore
from HCART tape.

Hi All,
I have a question. Is the NetBackup adjusting density according to the drive
type? I mean if I set drive density to hcart2 for hcart3 drive, what would
the capacity for that media? Is it like hcart3 regardless of the setting in
netbackup?

Regards,
