Hello,
My understanding of indexes is that they have to be written by the networker server. You don't say whether your tape drive is attached to the networker server or a storage node. If it's a storage node, the mount is being issued for a different tape because NW needs the tape on the NW server and would rather mount a new tape than unmount the existing tape and move it to the NW server -- programmed back when all such movement was manual (I suspect).

If the tape drive is on the networker server -- then I don't know why NW would be wanting a different tape in the same pool.

Hi,
I have a single tape drive for backing up through networker version 7.2. I 
scheduled a backup and it ran successfull for a client in the default pool.. 
Now for writing the index info its asking for another tape in the same pool. My 
doubt is that, since in the tape there is still enough space left which is 
labeled as default pool, why cant it write in the same tape?

rgds,
k
