Folks,

Anybody out there successfully automated a large volume import of tape media into NetBackup?  I am curious as to how you controlled the processing, given the potential conflict in using available tapes drives for example and how you validated the success of the phases of the import.  We have several hundred tapes to process (800+). I am also looking for indications as to how long a phase 1 and phase 2 import will take on LTO-1 media with close to 2:1 compression (190+ GB).  We have multiplexed media and 2 GB fragment sizes which I imagine will slow things down too.

Regards,
