Its designed to work that way.  I assume the reasoning is that you want
to keep db backups offsite so you can recover your db in case of a
disaster.  If so, you want to start each db backup on a new tape so that
it can go offsite.

Hi list,

I'm rather green with TSM, actually working through my first
client-project with it and have come to a (small for sure) problem
System: TSM 5.2 on SuSe SLES8, feeding an Adic Scalar24 with one
IBM-LTO2.
Basically, the system works.
Whenever I command a dbBackup, wether full or incremetal, TSM wants to
write to a scratch tape only. If i give the volser of a tape used for
an
earlier dbbackup explicitly, TSM says the tape is full (which it is
not).
Can someone point me to the right direction?
