The operation was not performed because no unused media
was available.

We get this error message when running the command below.
THis is the same command that we use for years with NT 4.0
and used for about 10 days with 2000. It seems like the
tapes are "full". Under NT 4 we got an overwrite, which
is what we want, but we canot find a method in help to fix
this.



ntbackup backup C: /j "Incremental" /D "Incremental
backup" /p "4mm DDS" /m
Incremental /L:F /HC:on /IS "MIM" /DS "MIM" /UM
 
If you use a standalone tape library, one way to fix this is to call another
batch job in the beginning that runs a simple backup operation (c:\temp) -
this has fixed it for me; it refreshes the library.
