Dear folks,
sorry that I bring this issue up again.
I still have to prune the tapes manually. Well, this is true for the
MON/TUE/WED/THU tapes but not for the FRE tapes. In fact I use two FRE tapes
for even weeks (FRE-E-1, FRE-E-2) and two FRE tapes for odd weeks (FRE-O-1,
FRE-O-2). Each FRE tape is used every forth even/odd week, whereas the
MON/TUE/WED/THU tapes are used every second even/odd week. One more difference:
The FRE tapes do not need to be pruned manually - they get pruned
automatically. But why?
I already tried to lower "Volume Retention" to 4 days and relabeled all tapes,
but this did not help.
Regards
Carsten
