I have our dailies set to retain the media for 23 days before the tape expires and can be reused. My Daily is set as follows... Retention type: 2 (days) Retain media: 23 (23 days) Save file retention type: 4 (none) This way when a tape is used within BRMS, it cannot be reused until it expires in 23 days.
