Dan,
One thing you will probably want to be sure to do is to
run the LTID daemon with the "-nsu" option. If you dont
and you have time in between your backup schedules it will
eject the tape after the first set of contiguous backups completes.
Also you will want to be sure that all backups use the same
retention levels for all backups or use the "ALLOW_MULTIPLE_RETENTION_LEVELS"
directive or NB will as you to mount a different tape for each ret level.
Also make sure that all backups a set to use the same volume pool.
Different vp's want to go on differnt tapes as well.
You can also specify in the bp.conf a auto label key MEDIA_ID_PREFIX = "ABC"
NB will automagicall label tapes if it finds one without a label using
A00000, A00001, ... But is nice/better to pre-label the tapes to limit
confusion with human interaction.
