RE: BRMS question

When you say "second backup" is this additional entries in the control
group?
There is a "*LOAD" parameter that can be specified as a backup-item
(like *EXIT), that tells it to go to a new tape.

Is this what you're looking for?  
We don't duplex our backups, so I'm not that familure with all the BRMS
options, if that's what your trying to describe, or if you just have
multiple entries in your control-group that you want split across
multiple tapes.  If this is the case, use *LOAD in the backup-item
field.

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. Dave
