Hi Calvin you can't specify what tape you want to reserve for restore, you can create a Storage Unit with there tapes drives, so always will be a tape available to make restores.

Assunto: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 5.1 to use a specific tape drive for restoration.
The current setup of the Netbackup is 1 unit of Server running
Solaris 8 configured as Netbackup Master/Media Server. 1 unit of L180
tape library with 4 SDLT320 tape drives and 1 unit of SDLT320
standalone
tape drive is connected to the server. May I know how to restore
using the SDLT320 standalone tape drive instead of using the L180 tape
library?
Note: Backup of the client was to the L180 tape library SDLT320 tape
drive and the tape needed for the restoration have been identified and
ejected from the L180 tape library.
