Retire OR Expire Media

[Liaquat]

I am using Veritas Backup Exec 9.0.4454
I am looking into expiring or retiring the media after 200 Hours of usage. How Can I do this. The goal is to make sure that a tape can not be used after a pre defined criteria like numbers/Hours of usage.

Thanks in advance!

2 things...

1. If you look at the media tab, you can view your sets, and each tape in a set (if you double click it), will show you usage.

2. You can set a period in which you can append to a tape, then it will no longer occur.

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
