Re: [Networker] Tape Management/Offsite tape rotation

we developed an in-house database using MS Access to keep track of our tapes 
and also to handle tape ordering from offsite storage. We customized it very 
'user friendly' that even a monkey can navigate through it.

Just wondering what everyone else does to track, and mark, offsite
tapes.   The process within Networker is very labor intensive, and I was
wondering what other people were using.   I was looking at Bocada
software, but that's more of a Networker backup management piece of
software.  I was wondering if there was something like that for tape
management - specifically telling an operator (non-backup person) what
tapes need to be brought offsite, what tapes can come back from offsite,
and then "marking" the appropriate location of those tapes within
Networker.



Any information would be appreciated.
