NBU shouldn't use an outside tape with data on it:

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/249632.htm

These are usually tapes written outside of NetBackup that have found
their way into the library. By default, NetBackup will only write to a
blank media or other NetBackup media. Other media types (DBR, TAR, CPIO,
ANSI, MTF1 and recycled Backup Exec BE-MTF1 media) will be frozen as a
safety measure. This behavior can be changed with the following
procedure:

UNIX
To allow NetBackup to overwrite foreign media, add the following to
/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf for the media server in question:

ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = DBR 
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = CPIO
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = ANSI
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = MTF1
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = BE-MTF1
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = AOS/VS
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = RS-MTF1

Stop and restart the NetBackup daemons for the changes to take effect

Will NetBackup recognize that it is a TSM tape and that there is data on
there written by TSM?

Thanks,
Randy

In addition to what everyone else said, if you put a tape in the robot
and do not do an inventory in NetBackup, when NetBackup attempts to
mount the tape that it THINKS is there, it will read the header of the
tape and realize that the media-id on the header of the tape doesn't
match what it thinks is in the library, so it will freeze that tape and
not use it.  NetBackup does several checks to make sure it doesn't write
over a tape that is not expired.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU overwriting data on Tape

Hi
We are planning to move from TSM to NBU. We heard draw back that NBU can
accidently overwrite data on tape if tape library inventory is not run
after putting full tape in library.
                                 If that is true, how can we avoide ?
Your help is very much appreciated.
