Can I REUSE available FREE space of AWS VTL Tape for my next backup job

Hi Everyone,

I recently setup VTL in AWS and created 2 tapes each with 300 GB of capacity.

I have a backup job which backs up nearly 360 GB of data to AWS VTL. After running the backup job, it stored the data  on 1st tape (300GB) and used  2nd tape to write remaining 60 GB of data. Here, I assume it has 240 GB free space on 2nd Tape.

Now, AWS side I see used space as 60GB and showing tape storage usage as 23%. But, Netvault side -- the space for available column showing as 0.00KB for 2nd Tape.

If I run another job to store data on AWS VTL , it is failing to store on 2nd tape even it has some free space on AWS side.


My question is: How can I able to use the remaining free space of 2nd tape to write the data for my next job.

Please suggest.
