Feature Request: Ask for correct Tape instead creating new Media Set

[shark]

Dear Veeam-Support,
dear all,

for users having a standalone tape drive instead of an automated library mistakes in changing the tapes (i.e. inserting wrong tape for next job) can easily happen.
As soon as a tape job starts and Veeam detects a wrong tape, according to documentation in manual, a new media set is created and user is informed to insert a new tape. Since Veeam expects empty tape for mew media set, the tape must be empty.
This is very annoying for normal tape but over the month and year very costly when using WORM tapes. In this case you alway have to load a very new tape and cannot continue an old tape even if a few MB are written on that.

I would like to ask for a feature which allows the following:
During job creation user is asked if he wants the behavior like Veeam has already implemented or if Veeam should ask for the right tape (by name) when a wrong medium is detected.
This would enable the user/admin to insert the correct tape, confirm message and start job.

Thank you!
