Hi,
We use backup exec 8.6 and have two backup drives ( one external and one internal ) Our weekly backup runs over 2 tapes onto a 3rd, or it would except currently using a cascading drive pool ( so that I dont have to come in Monday morning and click "ok" to let it go to the second drive ) but when it fills up the seocnd drive it then looks back at the first tape and sees that it has data from this backup job in it and fails the job, it doesnt ask for another tape it just fails ...

How can I get it so that my system uses the first twp tapes and if it requires a thrid it asks for one and waits. ?

thanks in advance
