How do I get the jobs to pull tapes from the media sets?

[djenrig]

Good Morning,
We are running Backup exec 7.3 and as of now we have to respond to every tape mount request by pulling the tapes out of the allocated media sets and placing them into the scratch media set and then reponding OK to the request. Is there a way to get backup exec to look into the media sets we created for tapes as the jobs need one. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am working weekends just to mount tapes and would rather not
Thank you

After a tape is drawn form scratch that tape is put into the media set that that job(s) uses. The trick is to set the right click properties of that media set so that the tapes overwrite period expires and the append period is long enough so tapes are available for the next set of jobs run.
