We have a DEC TZ867 magazine (loads 7 cartridges) tape drive on an
AFS 3.4 system. Up to now, backups appear to work flawlessly, but operator
intervention is required each time a cartridge hits the end, in order to
advance to the next one.

It would be interesting to know if any one out there has managed to get a
fully automated backup on this kind of system, advancing the tapes as
needed without human intervention; or if any of you has got the BUTC
coordinator to execute a set of commands when it hits the tape end, instead
of prompting the operator.

Thanks in advance for any info...
