Hi!

Since we experienced many problems with our NT attached 3570 during the
last weeks (tension lost, defective tapes etc. etc.) I'd like to make sure
that after replacing some tapes and having the IBM CE in several times
everything is working properly. So I currently use "move data" commands to
copy data from one tape to another (using a disk pool as a "buffer" since I
habe only one tape drive available).

My question is if there is any other recommended way to check/verify my
tapes and assure that the drive and lib is working properly. I am looking
for a command the "searches" all over a tape - like a "dummy" restore for
example. Can somebody share her/his experiences with me?

Mit freundlichem Gruss/Best Regards
