Subject
[Veritas-bu] ? how to overwrite tapes










Somebody please remind me how to fix this - I am recycling some old tapes
which have unknown data on them and NBU tells me that it is FREEZING the
media because it contains ANSI-format data and cannot be used for backups.
I want to put these volumes in a scratch pool and allow NBU to assign and
use them as necessary. These tape volumes are in a tape library with a
barcode reader.
