Yesterday I found 95 tapes in our offsite-location,
which don't belong to any storage-pools.

Normally the only two ways that a tape gets to the
offsite-location is, that it's a copy-storage pool
from our tape-pool, or it's a dbbackup-tape.

In our DRM-Environment there is a setting, which takes
care about the dbbackup tapes, so that they will stay
7 days in the offsite location before the ADSM-Server
wants them to be put back into the system.

Is there a possibility to find out what content is on
this tapes, which don't belong to any storage pools?
Further problem is that our volume-history and
activity-log only covers 2 weeks so in my opinion
there is no easy way to check for tapes to be reused
or for tapes with storage data.

Best regards
Martin Radel
