To mark all tapes as Full is certainly possible, I suppose, however I don't think it would address my issue nor would it be feasible considering the rest of my installation. See, in the autochanger I have tapes for four other pools besides the one that I'm having the problem I described earlier. Two pools each for two different jobs/filesets. One pool has recyclable volumes with 90 day retention and the other is for archived monthly backups. Not to mention the "scratch" pool... I can't mark all tapes in the changer as full, it would hose my other pools/backups that are currently working fine. Even if I marked just all of the tapes from the "FlaksProblemPool" as Full, I'm not sure what that would accomplish for me. Already the tapes that are written to by the job are marked as Used because of the Maximum Volume Jobs directive I included in the pool definition. -- -- Flak Magnet (Tim) www.flakmagnet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
