    Media_Loader
    Nomedia_Loader

    Use the Media_Loader qualifier to specify that the tape device
    receiving the backup file has a loader or stacker. Use the
    Nomedia_Loader qualifier to specify that the tape device does
    not have a loader or stacker.

    By default, if a tape device has a loader or stacker, RMU Backup
    should recognize this fact. However, occasionally RMU Backup
    does not recognize that a tape device has a loader or stacker.
    Therefore, when the first backup tape fills, RMU Backup issues a
    request to the operator for the next tape, instead of requesting
    the next tape from the loader or stacker. Similarly, sometimes
    RMU Backup behaves as though a tape device has a loader or
    stacker when actually it does not.

    If you find that RMU Backup is not recognizing that your tape
    device has a loader or stacker, specify the Media_Loader
    qualifier. If you find that RMU Backup expects a loader or
    stacker when it should not, specify the Nomedia_Loader qualifier.
