Here's my problem.

I run a GFS rotation with the full backups running on Saturday night. 2 weekends ago the full backup failed, so when I came in Monday morning I made a scheduling change to run an additional full on Monday nights. I had the intention of changing the schedule back to show only a full on Saturday nights, but I forgot to change it back.

This past weekend a full ran on Saturday night as normal with no problems. Last night (Monday) however it ran a full again, this time using the monthly pool tapes, and when I came in this morning it was hung about 1/2 way through the backup because I didn't have enough monthly pool tapes mounted.

I stopped the backup, changed the schedule to reflect a full backup only on Saturday nights. So, finally here is my question :)

How can I force Arcserve to use the monthly pool tapes this Saturday night instead of using the weekly pool tapes?
 
Hi
Maybe if you move the monthly tape from Save Sent to Scratch set and move the weekly tape from Scratch set
to save set this way may force Arcserve to use this tape
