Re: [Veritas-bu] Quick Erase Script (Windows)

We use Data Domain here and haven’t seen that.

Are you running image cleanup jobs in NBU?

Jeff

When you use Data Domain DDR’s if one of the tapes becomes scratch and is not re-used right away, they hold data that is not cleaned up on the DDR until they are used or quick erased so there can be a few GB’s or several hundred GB’s that can be sitting on the DDR that can be cleaned up. Which is why we are looking for a script.

There’s no need to erase scratch tapes. When they are scratch then they will be overwritten the next time NBU uses them.

Hey guys

Does anyone have a quick erase script for Netbackup 6.5.3.1 (Windows 2003 Enterprise server)? I would like to be able to schedule the script to find all scratch tapes and run a quick erase on these tapes on a weekly basis. In addition, we have Unix utilities on the box so we can use these commands on the server. Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.
