How to Inventory and Catalog many tapes

I need a solution

Hi Community,

I am facing issue with BE 2012 on Windows Server 2008 STD R2, using Tape Library Fujitsu.

I have 20 tapes, devide to 4 genration for 4 weeks per month, each generation has 5 tapes.

Each generation, tape 1, 2, 3 will use for Incredental backup, tape 4, 5 will use for Full backup. I also set Media set: INCREDENTAL, FULL

At first generation, i put all 5 tapes to 5 slot, then Inventory all. After finish, it showed blank tape, then i label for each tape (ex: GEN1 - 1, GEN1 - 2, GEN1 - 3...). Then i associated tape 1, 2, 3 to INCREDENTAL media set, tape 4, 5 to FULL media set.

After that i get these tapes out of Tape Library, i put another 5 tapes for generation two to continue Inventory and Label.

After Inventory, while i assume that in Media information of Tape Library, it will show 5 new blank tapes, besides with 5 tapes of first generation.

However in Media information, it only showed GEN1 - 1, GEN1 - 2, GEN1 - 3...

It means BE undestand that GEN1 - 1, GEN1 - 2... is the name of slot, not tape.

Do you have any idea to advise? What and when shoud i do (Inventory/Catalog/Label...) for this design?

Thanks much.

Nghi
