it was in the dird.conf, at the bottem where the "pool"(s) is/are defined. My mistake..., it was not the "media type" keyword that was missing, but the "storage" keyword for my Tape pool, I have a confusing config at the moment using the same definition "Tape" for storage and pool etc. when I set it up initially, I was fast and loose with my terms.....

The backup software I'm using now is Very* old, and the company has been out of business for a number of years now. I'm locked into a particular tape drive via licensing... and I'm running into capacity issues.
