Internal Tape drive backup

Hello,

How to setup a daily full backup (mo. - fr.) with 5 different Tapes in Open-e V6!?
I've tested several ways without success

Best,

Can you label each tape as a separate tape device in the Backup devices.

What To- said, and where are you having issues?
It does show up as a device, correct? pools? creating tasks?

[tiber]

Yes, but I can only label one tape!
If I try to lable another one, It doesn't work. With the error: It is already labeled.

I created a weekly pool, I can see my device...issues> please check my previous post.

What if you delete all the tapes and start over then they are listed for the 5 tapes then you should be able to select the 1 tape and label it then use that in the backup devices. Are you running the latest release - 5087?

General question how to label my 5 tapes:
I have to be physically in front of my tape device, insert the first tape, label it (open-e), eject, insert the next one, label it, etc. right?

I don't have a library. Just a tape drive.
No, I use the previous version, but regarding to the release-notes it shouldn't be the point.
