Selecting Tapes for Backup Jobs

The process by which tapes are selected for use in backup jobs varies based on a number of factors, as follows:

• Whether the backup job is using DASDtapes or physical tapes
• Whether CA VM:Backup is interfaced with CA VM:Tape
• Whether the backup job is a CA VM:Backup job or a CA VM:Archiver job
