</snip> I still haven't solved this problem..... The old tape has to be automatically overwritten when the user forgets to change it. The retention period seems to work now, but the following happened: - the backup on the "used" tape did not take place, message was the same: Volume "DefaultVolume-0014" status is Used, but should be Append, Purged or Recycle - I canceled the job and started one manually, still nothing - then I manually mounted the tape and the backup started So the recycling works but the tape has to be unmounted and remounted, is there anyway to do this automatically?
