I've just moved to using the same (Default) pool for all my backup jobs. All my
backup jobs are configured as Backups, and run as full backups. Each backup is
for a different tape set and no tape sets should have more than one job on them.

I have a problem that the last tape in a set is set to 'Append'. Unless I
change this in the database media table to 'Full', a second job may be written
to the tape. This is what I've just done.

I've written job 329 after job 315 on the same tape (CLW112L4). See below

Two questions:

    * can I wipe the data pertaining to job 329 off tape CLW112L4 ?
      (I assume by using mt commands -- how can I find the block number
       to start writing zeros from?)
    * how can I stop this "Append" problem happening again?

Thanks
Rory
