If you use mminfo to generate a report, you can specify the "volaccess" field 
and that will tell you the last time the tape was accessed either for the 
purpose of writing or reading.  If you want to get more specific, you could use 
the "sscreate, ssbrowse, and ssretent" fields.  They will tell you what time 
the save set was created, the date and time it's browseable until and the date 
and time it will become recycled.

We run on a Win2K platform with NetWorker 6.1.1 build 238.

Hello list,


Is there a utility that I can use to scan the media database and let me
know the last written to dates on each tape?

Thanks,

Rob
