All you have to do is a bprecover -L //tape0 to find out or try and run =
a backup to that tape - then run all log entries, no backups can write =
on a db tape from veritas or mount the tape and do a forbidin contents =
on media - most reports do not show anything on db tapes so most reports =
show nothing, so use robtest mount the tape and perform a media =
contents?
Or try and manulally initiaze the tape - it will tell you its a db tape =
or try and write to it then check the logs, a db tape cannot be written =
to - So You keep searching and searching your hole life through - your =
gonna miss my.=20

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Simple question - Display Tape Header

What command do I use to read a tapes header ... specifically to
determine if the tape is a catalog tape?  I need to try to figure out if
someone changed some offsite catalog tapes to SCRATCH from the console
without using the script we have to do the two part process of
converting a catalog tape.  =20

I just found this error message in my logs "FREEZING media id 000132, it
contains NetBackup database backup data and cannot be used for backups"
and need to look at my 10 or so other frozen tapes to see if others were
also previously used as catalog tapes.

Thanks,

Michael H. Day=20
