Is it possible to configure a GFS tape rotation scheme to append itself each day to the same tape? Each day is a FULL backup. I would like to do this on a tape in a library but also in a setup where there are just two local tape devices. I got it to work once - now it is asking for a blank tape.
This would save so much money - right now my company has many field offices that are putting in a tape each day to backup Exchange. So the first 30 minutes of tape are being overwritten until they go bad - but the remainder of the tape is still new. Suggestions are appreciated.

in media pool config., what are the values in your:
- min. # of media in save set?
- retention time (days)?

i suggest you make these values = 0.
