In regard to: Re: [Networker] Labeling of Recycle Tapes, Marigomen, Ted...:

>You also have to set Auto media management to Yes in the jukebox config.

:-)  I'm surprised Davina hasn't already jumped on you for this.

You DO NOT need to set "Auto Media Management" in a jukebox for NetWorker
to automatically *recycle* tapes.

Auto Media Management controls one thing, and one thing only: whether
NetWorker will label previously-unlabelled tapes for use in a pool that
needs them.  That is, will NetWorker draft new, blank, unlabelled,
never-seen-this-before tapes into a pool that needs one.  With "Auto Media
Management" set to no/false, it will not.

As Cliff Klaven would say, "It's a common misconception that Auto Media
Management plays a part in recycling tapes with NetWorker."  It does not.
