Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Drive

What I have done in the past
is "downed" the drives I want to use with tar. You can then use
robtest to move tapes in and out of the drives. You have to be careful
with your "mt" and "tar" commands so as to not unload
the tape. If you unload the tape, you will have to use robtest to move
that tape back to a slot and then back into the drive. It's not without
problems, but it can be done. I sure wouldn't try and do anything automated
this way.

Hm,
That's a tricky one, you can set it to only use 2 drives for write, but
those drives will be 'any two drives' of the four. There may be a
setting
to make sure the drives don't get used-- I have not had to do that myself.
