Hi,

You can use storage pools from netbackup to track your tapes. Netbackup knows if a tape is inside the library and you can use a script to inform netbackup were are the tapes that are out of the library (with vmchange command)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Barcode Scanning

 

Hi Everyone

 

I've been tasked with trying to find a solution to our tape mountain here.

Our tapes are in one of four places and all have unique bar codes.

 

Ideally, we want to have a handheld barcode scanner that can record when our tapes go off site and come back from the off-site datasafe. We also want to be able to record when the tapes are in the library etc.

 

I know that our NetBackup solution can read the tapes but wondered if anyone has done something like this before and could recommend any products.

The best product will feature a database which we could tailor to indicate which tapes are where.

 

Thanks

Justin
