The "Append to Media" parameter is the correct place to specify this,
however the backup policy can get overridden by the Control group attribute
or the STRBKUBRM command.  Make sure that they all specify *NO.  If you are
using the SAVLIBBRM or SAVOBJBRM commands specify SEQNBR(1) to force the use
of a completely expired tape.

How do I prevent a second backup from going to the same tape that backup #1
wrote to if the tape is not unloaded from backup #1? I thought it should be
the" Append to Media" parameter in the backup policy but it does not appear
to be. In other words, I do not want a backup to write to an "active" tape,
only to expired tapes.
