How to "reformat" or "reset" or empty tapes?
Hello
We have an HP LTO Ultrium-3 drive and I have just reinstalled Symantec Backup Exec 2010.
Now I want to use these tapes again but now they're marked as "Retired Media".
I want to empty them and start over.
How do I do this?
Thank you

Re: How to "reformat" or "reset" or empty tapes?
This is more of a Backup Exec question not HP, but as I know the product, you need to move the tapes from the Retired Media set to the Scratch Media set which should make them overwritable.
Then do either a long or quick erase on them...
Thanks,
Mark...
