Hi,
You can use storage pools from netbackup to track your tapes. Netbackup
knows if a tape is inside the library and you can use a script to inform
netbackup were are the tapes that are out of the library (with vmchange
command)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Barcode Scanning
Hi Everyone
I've been tasked with trying to find a solution to our tape mountain here.
Our tapes are in one of four places and all have unique bar codes.
Ideally, we want to have a handheld barcode scanner that can record when our
tapes go off site and come back from the off-site datasafe. We also want to
be able to record when the tapes are in the library etc.
I know that our NetBackup solution can read the tapes but wondered if anyone
has done something like this before and could recommend any products.
The best product will feature a database which we could tailor to indicate
which tapes are where.
Thanks
Justin
