Everytime i run a test run on a particular backup job it fails the media capcity check. I have 40/80gb tape. The tape is blank and is set to overwrite existing media.
This is what veritas is the log says.

Media Capacity CheckDevice : DELL 1Online append capacity : 0.000 MBOnline overwrite capacity: 39,613 MBTotal append capacity : 8,978 MBTotal overwrite capacity : 198,066 MBCapacity check status : Failed

The error message indicates that something is set for append and not overwrite. Is this tape part of a media set? If so, go to the Media tab, find the media set and check the settings. Also, go to the Device tab, right click on the slot or tape and check the settings.
