Thanks, though with 20+ tapes of their data... I suspect there's an easier way I'd overlooked: checkout the volumes, hand the tapes over, then destroy the volumes with discarddata=yes. On my first quick pass through TFM I'd thought the discarddata=yes would try to physically erase the tape, but it looks like it just removes the database entries for the backed-up data, which is fine. -- Jim Davis Biotechnology Computing Facility Arizona Research Labs
