Hello,
Is there a way to backup up the netabackup database onto a specific tape, 
one that isnt in the netbackup pool? Is there a good reason not to do this. 
Right now my offiste dupes take up four tapes which is how many slots we 
have in our CAP. So it is more convenient for me to write database backup 
to one of those four tapes instead of ejecting a fifth tape which would be 
from the netbackup pool. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I tried 
the following command to write a backup to a specific tape that wasnt in 
the netabackup pool and got the following error:

root@tapehost/ >bpbackupdb -tpath /dev/rmt/2cbn -rv CIB017
media open error
