Hello !

Since we just bought new tapes, I want to do it the right way now: i want 
to know when I started using each tape, and how many times a tape was 
written.

I know there is a field in bacula 'InitialWrite', but this isn't the 
datetime a media is taken in use for the first time, it is exact the same 
as FirstWritten (so it changes with every job). I talked with Kern about 
this on the buglist but this field isn't ment like this.

So, as far as I know, there is no automated (or manual) way in Bacula to 
determine how many times a volume as been written and since when volume 
was taken first in use.

Does anybody addresses this feature with seperate scripts (for example 
with an 'BeforeJob' or 'AfterJob') ? How do you people know or determine 
when tapes are worn out?

Thnx!
K.
