Hi,
I got a generic question for you all. How do you keep in track of
your Database Backup Tape Volumes?
I know you can see in Volhist the label of the volume, but how do
you keep in track to get it back from the vault?
Do you have a script or do you call it back one day in advance?

we sell (shameless plug) TSM MediaManager, because we identified this
problem. Basically, MediaManager wraps all TSM interaction in a GUI,
maintains the vault inventory and does everything needed to allow the
courier, just any operator, your secretary or anyone else you trust
with your data to check the tapes in and out....

Please, I'm really interested of your feedback and how you deal with
it?

If you're interested, you know how to find us, I'm non-grate on the
list after this shameless plug, so we'll have this off list if you
want more details ;-)

Best Regards
Christian Svensson
