In my situation we are about to go live with NB 3.4.1 and an adic scalar
1000 w 10 drives.

Using A unix master server and 3 NT media Servers.

So I need to offsite every day the tapes used the previous day.  These
tapes all will have different
Retention periods.  Some are 2 months, some infinite, some 1 yr.

So I have 2 questions, is there an easy way to determine which tapes are
which without having to look
At what data was written to each barcode?


The second question is somewhat similar.  

If someone requests a restore from July 15, and I know that I off sited
15 tapes that day, how do I know which tape
Is needed for the restore without having to initiate it and see it fail
while asking for tape xxxxxxx
