All,

I'm going to perform backups to a single tape drive.
I have created my pool, volumes, classes and storage unit.  I have even labeled
the tapes.

What I would like to do is to perform backups to a tape until it gets full, then
I'll replace the tape.
I loaded the first tape and backups ran fine, later to make more tests, I
expired the images and deassigned the tape, however the backups stay as pending
requests.  When I try to assign the request to the drive, it says that the drive
is already assigned.

Any ideas ?

Also, I would like my backups to use the tape currently in the drive.  How can I
make that happen ?  Because I think that NBU will try to use the tape with less
uses or something like that, and not the tape currently in the drive, even when
the tape is already expired.

Thanks !
Carlos
