Hello,

I'm suspecting that some of our tapes have physical errors so I would like to check them and discard if necessary.

Is there any method to check these tapes in an easy manner? Is it possible to launch some "check" command that analyzes one or more tapes in the changer and give us a result of the status of the data (something like a virtual restore of all the data).

Thank you very much.
