I'd run a scripted job after your daily backup(s) - perhaps triggered by a
bpend_notify script - that identifies the tape last used to backup
(bpimagelist -media) and then suspends it (bpmedia -suspend -ev <tapenum>).
A suspended tape can be read normally but won't allow more data to be
appended to it. A suspended tape, though, will expire normally and be
reusable with no intervention.
Combine this with a four-week retention of your data and that should be
solution

Subject: [Veritas-bu] New tape per day.
Hi all
I need to do the following and want to know what's the best way of doing it?
I have a backup with a 28 day cycle. We want the backup to use a new tape
every day for 28 days. On day 29, it can start using tape 1 again, so we
will have 28 tapes that will be over written every 28 days. We don't want to
eject any tapes out of the robot and we don't have vault.
Netbackup 4.5_3 which will upgrade to 4.5_5. Any ideas? (The backup per day
will fit onto one tape - LTO 2 in a L700 robot)
