G'day John,

We have tested with manual drives on NT as well and the only difference is
that we specified
ADSM to use scratch tapes. Then ADSM will work the way you want it to work.
The scratch tape will then belong to the storage pool and the only thing you
have to do is label a new tape.
Label a few tapes and have them ready to be used. It's hard to label a tape
when you are in the middle of a backup.
