I received a number of similar answers, and unfortunately it's not the volume 
pool, all the tapes are in the same pool, there's only one pool.
   
  However, I have another possibility:  Will netbackup throw the 96 error if 
there isn't enough room to write the backup completely?  It seems that even the 
cumulative backups for this particular server are quite large compared to the 
other servers, on an order of 10x larger.  If we're getting low on space, is it 
possible that the other backups complete because they still fit?

  I have a Netbackup system (3.4) running on a SUN box, backing up about a 
dozen clients.  I have one class for one server, and this class will come up 
with 96 errors "no media available" when other backups before or after seen to 
have no trouble finding media.

  Any reason you can think of why this is happening?
