You could mark the tape used the previous day as full. Select it with something
like :
mminfo -r volume -q 'sscreate>=-1 day,near,!full,!volrecycle,written>0'
then
nsrjb -u <volume> ; nsrmm -y -o full <volume>
Of course, if you automate this, you must be careful :
- if the tape is in use when the nsrjb/nsrmm run, they will fail and the tape
will remain writable
- if a tape somehow fails during the backups, networker will carry on on
another one, using 2 tapes the same day, and you may be a tape short at the end
of the week.
