2003-Advanced server Master and Media server -
4 DLT7000's 1 robot - Sun L1800 48 tapes -

Can I setup a script to eject just the full tapes from
a weekend backup with only 4 import slots and 10 full tapes?
We use between 10 and 12 tapes for a NT-WEEKLY backup -


I have 4 schedules - NT-DAILY, NT-WEEKLY, NT-MONTHLY AND NT-YEARLY -
the dailys are diff-inc -30 day hold, FUll weekly = 3 month, Full monthly =
1 year, Full yearly = infinity 9 over 30years.

Thanks

Definitly please.

On my other jukeboxes after ops have changed tapes the robot does an 
inventory then multiple tmie throuhg the day i run a script called 
loadtape which inventorys the jukebox for netbackup automatically.

I have a script to identify the tapes which need to be ejected and know 
the robtest commands to move them manually by echo "m sxx ???" | tldtest

-r <devive>  but if you have something which does all this that would be

fantastic.

Thanks
Dave
