Hello,

I don't know what your script looks like, but in fact, you can test the 'inuse' 
flag of the mminfo command.

It sends you a list of tapes that are currently in use, so it would be easy to 
exclude these tapes from your off-site list.

e.g :

mminfo -avot -q "inuse" -r "volume"

reports things like that :

VOL001
VOL002
