can you confirm you have a Tape Media Library (mlb) defined, or are you
saving using just a tape device (like TAP01)?

At the moment, it's just TAP01 that's varied on and in use daily. However, there's a TAPMLB01 also configured, but varied off. I'll be tinkering with these today.

The TS2900 can be set to autoload the next tape into the drive, without a
Tape Media Library by setting Sequential Mode.

Yeah, I saw that already, but I have a stranger hope.

I want to do a 'save critical files' to one tape, then switch to a different one for the 'full' backup. The full one will go offsite; the other one will stay here so that developers can recover from oopsies. It wouldn't be my first dumb idea lol.

We can easily get two full saves on a single LTO7 cartridge; overflowing onto the next volume isn't a concern.
