Proper Media Usage in Backup Exec

Hi All,

Ill just give the detailed description what happened in past week.

We changed our policy for media management to 28 Days Overwritable protection and 7 Days Appendablity to Media.
What we observed during this week is that, the job which is spanning across multiple media is asking for the Overwritable media even if we are setting Job property to accept Appendable media.

We opened a case with Symantec, they told us that, the logic used to accept the media is the same. It will ask for an overwritable media for jobs spanning across medias.

If this is true then we are in the bad shape now, coz we have to provide number of media to media set. So = increase in the Media Requirement per Media Set = Direct Cost Impact

I am requesting all of you, if you have faced the same thing/issue(for me atleast), kindly contribute your opinion.

According to my Requirement, Spanning Job should accept the appendable media. (What you think....???)

Symantec Should provide open to choose between the below things.

Jobs spanning accross multiple media
=================================
Option 1 : Should accept  the Overwritable Media Only
Option 2 : Should accept appendable media, if not available then accept the Overwritable media

Thanks,
