How do I format a tape in Networker 7.2 on windows. That is I want
to make this tape almost as good as a new tape without any previous
logical label on it. I see an option while labelling the tape where
there are two checkboxes one for Manual recycle of tape and another
for mounting of the tape. Will checking the manual recycle part
solve my issue...?
NetWorker doesn't have the concept of formatting tapes; the procedure
in which it labels tapes and updates end of written-tape markers is
sufficient to avoid the need to blank out an entire tape.
Enabling manual recycling is used to prevent NetWorker from
automatically recycling the tape, even when it is logically available
for recycling (i.e., means that the tape requires manual intervention
to be recycled).
