I have a Sony 4MM DDS autoloader. I have prepared a bunch of tapes so they
are all in the free media pool. When I use NTBackup with the /UM it will
pull tapes from the free media pool as it needs them, but it pull tapes from
the slots randomly.

Is there a way to get RSM to pull tapes in a certain order when an
application calls for free media?
