The only ways I can think to know which tape will be used beforehand is to...

1. point it to a pool that only contains that tape
2. use a retention that no other class uses and manually assign the tape to
the media server with that retention beforehand
3. label the tape as a unique media type (i.e. DLT2 if all other tapes are
DLT) and dedicate a drive to it

I want to run a backup from the command line(a certain class to be specific)
that grabs a certain tape number .  Any ideas on how to do this?

Netbackup 3.2
Solaris UNIX box

Thank You
David
