By default, the software tries to write a backup onto a tape containing backups of the same backup
chain or archive. If not found, the software searches for a tape of the same tape set. (Tape sets can
be determined by tape pools, by the Use a separate tape set for each single machine option or by
the Grandfather-Father-Son (p. 66) or Tower of Hanoi (p. 72) backup schemes.) If a tape of the same
tape set is not found, the software will try to use a free tape.
