Hi All,
I am looking to make a manual thing to a automatic thru script..
We have a client for which we backup data to EDL and clone it to tape library
and we send them to offsite on a daily basis even if the tape is not full. It
is ok to send tapes offsite today, that are cloned yesterday.
I am trying to make a script for this, but i am not a expert in scripts..
Can some one help me in this..
Thanks in advance..
Surya....
