Use appendable tapes instead of new ones

Question

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with Networker 7.3.3, the issue is that when a backup request a tape, NetWorker labels a new one instead of using an appendable tape of that pool, i have the automedia management enabled.

Thanks for your help,

Much respect!

Just a simple test you can do: if you leave only appendable tapes in the library, does Networker use those tapes or request a new one?

That would indicate NW is not aware of that tape being in library.  I believe 7.3.3 had issue with location field and it is no longer supported so you may wish to update first.
