I do two things. I run an admin script after each nights run, that marks the last tape written to as used. I also run admin script before each nights run, that moves purged or recycled media to the scratch pool.
This after admin scipt is for windows. :_MarkAsUsed set tempfile="%working_dir%\adminjob.tmp" set inchanger=0 %mtx% -f Changer0 status > %tempfile% for /F "usebackq tokens=10" %%i in ( `findstr /R /C:"^Data Transfer Element 0:Full" %tempfile%` ) do set inchanger=%%i if (%inchanger%) NEQ (0) echo update volume=%inchanger% volstatus=used quit | %bconsole% goto _End The before admin script runs a mysql query. If its in the changer, and the pool is daily or weekly, and the status is purged or recycled, then move it to the scratch pool. "UPDATE Media SET PoolId=3 where (VolStatus='Purged' or 'Recycled') AND InChanger=1 AND (PoolId=5 OR PoolId=6);" PoolId 3 is Scratch PoolId 5 is Daily PoolId 6 is Weekely Jonathan Larsen wrote: > Is there away to tell it to recycle regardless?
