Hello all,

I am wondering how you may be handling the following situation:

I am using DRM to manage my offsite tape storage, and have "scripts" with
the move commands to automate the process on a daily basis, as I am sure
many others do as well.

Anyway, I currently have the move drm command to move tapes to vault set for
a begin date of today -3, so as to try and ensure that the tapes I am
sending offsite are full. (Let's face it, tapes aren't cheap, so why not use
the full capacity...).

Has anyone found a way to ensure that you only send full tapes offsite with
DRM? The command I am running is:
mov drm wherest=mountable tost=vault begind=today-3.  I am aware that the
move media command outside of drm has the capability to allow you to specify
only full tapes, but can't see anything that straightforward with the move
drm command.

Any suggestions? (Maybe a macro or SQL query in conjunction with the move
drm command?)

Thanks in advance, Wes Dunham
