Moving tapes offsite

2011-09-16 Thread Jim Davis
We have a department leaving our TSM system that would like to have the tapes we've been using for them -- they'd keep them on a shelf and presumably use tsmtape (or whatever) if they needed the old data. I'm not sure how to handle that request; I could mark the volumes 'offsite', but they're

I would be reticent about giving people used tapes, unless the old overwritten data had been encrypted, or the tapes were used exclusively by the people you're given them to. On 09/16/11 12:38 PM, Jim Davis wrote: On 9/16/2011 10:13 AM, Skylar Thompson wrote: Could you generate a backupset for

We currently have a problems with our TSM server in regards to ARCHIVE tapes which we store offsite. Today while trying to load some new scratch tapes into our Dell PowerVault 136T Library we got a error back saying the ANR8314E Library ATL is full. Our library can physically hold 72 tapes
