Hello,
I'm using NetBackup 5.0, and I have several tapes in a
robotic device. For example, assume each tape holds 100 GB,
and the content of each nightly backup takes 10 GB. Tapes
are labeled A00001 through A00005. 
I don't want to fill up A00001 (approx 10 nights) before
backing up to another tape. Instead, I want to use once
A00001, the following night use a different tape (like
A00002) even if first one is not full. I want to leave
all tapes in the robot.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
Louis-Luc
