That message means that the tape has filled up. You need to provide a scratch/overwritable
tape for BENT to complete the job.

Thanks, but i assume the settings should allow the tape to be overwritten?
do i have to erase the tape and start over? or how do i set it to overwrite
the tapes automatically?

Cheers

The tape that the job started on is full. Re-loading that tape won't
help. You need to either specify compression if you are not already,
or break the job into multiple smaller jobs, or get another tape drive,
or get a library

Was a resolution ever come to with this problem?? I am getting the exact same
problem. MY tape pops out and the message says, "media overwrite potection
is configured to overwrite media, see online help." My settings are the
same as yours, and I can not get a tape to complete. However, when I use
the wizard, and run an immediate backup using system defaults.. it goes through.
I am backing up 19GB of info onto a 40GB (compressed) tape. The tape CANNOT
be full! And these are all tapes that I have been using in the past and they
have worked just fine. any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't give veryb much info about your setup -

One job? Multiple jobs appended on one tape? Multiple days appended to
one tape? Tape overwrite protection settings?(full/partial/none). Retention
period on the media set being used.

Have you tried dragging the tape volume to the scratch set when you mount
it?
