Hello.
I'm working on building some offsite duplication scripts and
methodologies. I'm hitting alittle hitch though. I can't see how to
get bpduplicate to report which tape it selects for the duplication.
Currently, I tell it to use a tape out of the duplication pool (I'm just
using the default NB_Duplicate pool name) without specifying exactly
which tape to use... the idea is that I don't need to update the
duplication scripts daily/weekly with the tape id, I can just keep the
duplication pool full of tapes. But once the dup is done I can't find a
way of automating the discovery of which tape it used in order to eject
it. I can visually scan the medialist and tell which one it used, but I
wouldn't want to script that method because it is inherently error prone.
Is there anyway for bpduplicate to output the tape it used? Or should I
just invoke this thing manually.
A little followup question... when doing offsites is it worthwhile/wise
to put a NB catalog backup on the offsite tape too?
Thank You.
benr.
