Backup Exec 2012: Overwrite protection peroid

I need a solution

Hi all,

having a problem with my weekly duplicate backups to my robotic library and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Job configuration:
"Duplicate", Source:"Most recent full backup", Storage: "IBM Tape library", Media Set: "3 weeks".

Media set configuration:
Overwrite protection period: "3 weeks"
Append peroid" Infinite - Allow append"

Each week im replacing the weekly tapes with new ones and associate the new tapes with this mediaset.

So hm, and here's my problem: When the job begoíns to run, it says that no overwritable media can be found. As I understand, the "Allocated Date" begins from the time on  the media is associated with the mediaset. So the overwrite protection is from this time on 3 weeks. So my backups never start...

But how do I have to set up my mediaset? I want that the backup files on tape are protected for at least 3 weeks and can be appendable infinite. So when the tape is full within these 3 weeks, the robotic library uses the next tape. At the moment I associate the tapes withe the mediaset "Scratch Media" and this helps me out at the moment.

 

Thanks in advance,
Sven
