backup data each days in week on separate tape

[vpcl]

hi all
im new in symantec backup exec . i have symantec backup exec 12 with HP MSL2024 tape libraries .
i want to backup data in each days in week on separate tape. for example : backup data in Sun on tape in slot1 and Mon on tape in slot 2

It may be a bit convoluted, but this is how I do it:
I have a Dell ML6020, but the setup should be the same as for the HP.
From BE, I created partitions on the library, one for each slot (be mindful of the 0 slot). I then created a backup job for each day (named Mon, Tues, etc) and assigned each job to a particular slot/partition. Tapes are overwritten each week.
On the first day of the month, I remove the tape that was backed up to the night before and use that as my permanent archive for the month.

How many tapes do you have? 1 full week? I would just set up my media set so that after the job is complete the tape is not overwriteable or appendable until the next time it is available in the rotation. That way it just goes to the next tape in the library. No need to set up multiple jobs or multiple tape partitions.

TravTrav, I have done this with mine, hoping to acheieve the same out come.
But it seems that once I change the tapes and then do an inventory it locks all the tapes for 6 days.

(as I have set these to don't overwrite for 6 day, and don't append after 12 Hours).

Do you have any suggestions on my setting?!

Thanks in Advance for your Help
