Suspending a tape keeps it from being written to until the last image on
that tape expires.  Then the tape returns to read/write.
 
Freezing a tape keeps it from being written to forever.
 
Both are options to the bpmedia command.  
 
To find images on tapes, use "bpimmedia -mediaid <medianum>" with
appropriate options to make it pretty, etc.

Hello,

 

What is the easiest way to find out what clients wrote on a particular tape?

I have a tape that is going bad (keeps freezing, same one, I need to know
which clients wrote on this tape).

Also, is there a way to mark a tape for reading only and not writing?

I use multiplexed backups, so I am sure it wrote a whole bunch of stuff on
that tape.

 

Thanks,

 

Justin.
