Release doesn't, however, eject the tape from the drive, correct?
Also, I mentioned that I will always follow my unmount command
with a mount of a different tape.
Main reasons for unmounting... Weekly switching of backup tapes.
My full backups run (mostly) during the 1st 7 days of the month,
and after the 7th, whether a tape is full or not, I will remove
the tape from the library and hold it for offsite storage. When
I load the library with a new batch of tapes, I'll mount a tape
in each of the tape library's drives.
