Hello everyone,
I just noticed that my tapes are getting moved arround at random.
I have 5 media sets with a 1 tape in each doing daily backups.It all looks 'by the book'.
eg.
MONDAY SET - Monday Tape
Nothing fancy...

After I run backups for a few days I notice that some of my tapes have 'migrated' to a random set.
Eg.
MONDAY SET now holds
- Wednesay Tape
- Thursday Tape
- Friday Tape
Being that I have a 3 jobs these tape absolutly must be in the right Media Set or I overwrite tapes.
So to ask bluntly WTF is going on? Should I just create one Media Set and dump all the tapes in it?
Backup jobs are all set to use 'main' device (Quantum1)under device view I have:
Robotic Libraries:
-QUANTUM1
--Certance1
--[]Slots

Anyone has an idea of what is going on?
Using 10d , media server 10.1 rev 5629

Many thanks for your time!!!

Perhaps a better way/question would be to use one single Media Set called "weelly backup" and then throw all my tapes into it with a 7 day protection?[ponder]

Thanks for your thoughts!
