What's your master server?  Unix?

If so, could you extract a report from the master server and mail it to them
at the remote locations?

Do you use different volume groups for each physical location (if not, you
should consider it)?

There is a script you can run in goodies or admincmd called
available_media  run that and it will tell you what tapes are
available..  when you upgrade to 5.x the system will automatically put
them in scratch again

The setup:

Our offsite admin have to sort through a stack of stand alone tapes with
either one or two drives.  The procedure is to stuff one weeks daily
backups
on a single tape and then mount the weekly Friday before they leave.
These
are not manned during the time of the weekly fools backup.  We tried to
use
the tapes in numerical order.  That did not work for some reason
netbackup
wanted tapes from around the pool.  

The problem:

How can our offsite admins know which tapes have come available.  It is
possible to view all the tapes in the admin console and then compare
against
the current inventory but time consuming.  It would be useful to get a
list
of tapes on a weekly basis that become available.  The media server in
the
offsite locations are windows 2000 machines running netbackup 4.5.
