It uses a 1024 byte ANSI label. You don’t say what kind of system you have, but if it is UNIX you can dd bs=1024 if=/dev/rmt/xxxxx | od –c to see what it looks like.

Dear all,

I have a  question for the backup group:  When NetBackup starts writing to a new tape, what label format does it use?  In particular, do you know if it writes an ANSI or IBM label, or if it just uses a NetBackup-specific label?

Rgds
Abhishek
