Hello,

Can anyone explain how they remove tapes from netbackup to be sent to
offsite storage. Do you use volume groups? The current method I use is:

1. Identify tapes written in the last 24 hour [ bpimagelist -A -media
-hoursago 24]

2. Use vmadm and move the tapes to a new volume group [chosen from
MONDAY,TUESDAY etc]

3. Remove tapes, insert new tapes, perform vmupdate

Is this the correct method?

If this is the case has anyone managed to automate the process of moving
written tapes to volume groups in any scripts?

Many thanks,

Timothy
