This is something I didn't know. Of course if NetWorker is trusting you,
you have to be sure that you can trust yourself. :-)

I think the -v method is more reliable than the sjirdtag method. The
problem with sjirdtag is that it often fails to deliver any output,
particularly if the jukebox is busy at the time. YMMV. It is fairly easy to
write a deposit script that parses the output of nsrjb -dv and inventories
only the slots that were deposited to. I have a script that does this, I'll
try to remember to post it over the weekend when I am using my other
machine.
