Actually, mixing media can be done- Retro did it on me last week, when I didn't want
it to. I was getting to know my new AIT-1 library system, and left it on with blank
tapes loaded when I left for the day. Even though the existing DDS-3 changer had 2
blanks in it, it decided to grab the first blank AIT, leaving me with a set with 15
DDS tapes and 1 AIT.
But then, since "removable disks" and "CDR-Drive" are 2 different selections from the
pop-up menu, maybe that's enough to keep it from spanning discs.... I could see it
more likely to find 2 different kinds of tape as "close enough" than a jump from jazz
to CDR.
BTW, using the "set missing" and turning the AIT drive off before the next backups ran
got my sets all back on one media type.
