Jeff,
We use another method for determining which tapes have been written to;
the bpimagelist -media -L command.
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimagelist -media -L -d 04/16/01 18:00:00
| grep "^Media" | awk '{ print $3 }' -
will show you the tapes written to since April 16, 2001 at 6pm. This
command also has other useful info like how much data was written to each
tape during that time period.
We use this command, at one site, since all tapes written to there,
eventually/weekly, get taken offsite.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Finding tapes written to....
I am trying to figure out the best way to get my offsite backups
automated. Meaning, automate the deciphering of what, when, and where
and then ejecting them.
Here's what I'm thinking so far......
Use vmquery on my pool (Offsite, original huh?) and redirect the output
to a file. Use sed on the file to put it in delimited format and grep
for any mount in the last week. Take the first field of that line
(media id) and cat it to another file which is the input for tpeject.
Am I re-inventing the wheel? I looked at the eject_offsite_tape script
but it assumed way more than I am trying to do. Is the above the
easiest method or is there another Veritas command that actually does
what I'm attempting without the acrobatics (wouldn't be the first
time..)?
Thanks.
