Re: [Veritas-bu] Tape Data Removal

Hi James

A possibily is: Images on tape report (bpimmedia) for listing the images and long Erase for the deletion of everything on tape

Is there a process to remove all data from the tapes in the tape drive? I need institute an off-site storage process and I have no idea which tapes have a complete backup image on them, so I would like to remove all the data and start writing “fresh” tapes. We have a disk-to-tape setup, so all the images are primarily stored on the server and then are supposed to be written to tape for off-site storage.

I guess another option would be to view the images that have been written to each tape. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,

James McDonald
