RE: Magstar tape drive

Erm - does this imply that you are never actually planning to REMOVE 
the backup tapes from the tape drive ?
Good luck in the case of fire in the computer room.

Subject:        Magstar tape drive

I have had my first encounter with a Magstar Media Tape library.  I 
have
never done anything with these before.  I figued out it can run in 
stand
alone mode or library mode.  In standalone mode I can do a back up to 
the
first tape in the drive, however, what I would like to be able to do is 
to
have my back up rotate through the tapes.  (ie today it would use tape 
1,
tomorrow tape 2, the next day tape 3 , etc. through the 20 tapes and 
then
start over.)  Is there a way to address which cartridge is selected to 
be
used?
Any help is apprciated.
