generally, normal data expiration allows for the tapes to ~roll~ scratch
again.
files will expire based on associated management class copy group settings.
(and having "expire inventory" run, "expireinterval" of 0 says don't
automatically run expiration and you need an admin schedule to run "expire
inventory" or you just need to manually run it.)
OK, if all that is hap'n a "full" tape with a low % utilized might need to
have "reclamation" run against it.
it is best if you have at least two tape drives for reclamation but
it is possible with just one.
(see the user's guide for misc info on running reclamation)
hope this helps
later,
Dwight

Subject: Reuse the tapes.
I have been working with TSM to make backups of my servers.
The TSM server is on Windows NT and It is working with tapes too.
The TSM makes backups and keep it in hard disk, after sends the data to
tapes.
But I want to reuse the tapes again.
What can I do?
