Gustavo,
I have worked in some incredibly large organizations (250,000+ computers and
over 25k servers) I have never worked anywhere where they proactively replace
tape. Arkaitz is doing the same as I have always done, when technology changes
(LTO2 -> LTO3 -> LTO4) we upgrade to the new tape.
Now, if your company needs to proactively move data from OLD tape to new
technology tape, that is another case all together. This I have done when
working with the federal government. Moving data from old technology to new
technology every 5 years.
Food for thought, I hope we do not get food poisoning. /grin
Semper fidelis, /ALE

Subject: [Networker] How often do you replace tapes?
Hello Yaron,
Thank you for your response!
yes it's true and I'm totally agree with you about tape/drive replacements
time; but by a company policy they need a policy for replace the tapes.
May be it 250 recycled idea doesn´t sound practical but its must exist for
company complaince.
I'm preparing a mminfo script a consulting a recycled counter.
