Is there a media full flag I can parse via the command line? I'm
working on a script for a remote site who only wants to remove full
media from the box. I can guestimate based on how much data is on the
media but when NBU gets to the end of a media, does it flag it anywhere?
Thanks,
That would depend upon the OS in question. Use find or xargs to get
around those problems.

The best way is to run the available media report which is found at:

Not only does the report

Im just reading through documentation and apparently Solaris 8 as a

Unless you are willing to support them every step of the way with 6.5 and

I would recommend upgrading to 6.0MP4 first, and get that working.
Let 6.5 stabilize for awhile before making that plunge. 6.5 was just
released.

I'm looking into appliances for encrypting our backups between media server

Justin,
If I understand correctly, jobs at times are not mounting tapes and you
are probably experiencing media mount timeouts. Been there too. The
bptm process makes a reservation call to the drive over the device path,
prior to reserving it. If this communication does not complete, you

Key management for NetBackup encryption has historically been rough;
also, you will loose drive level compression. New encryption appliances
will allow for compression and simplified key management.

The Decru encryption appliances definitely compress and I'd be really
surprised if the NeoScale ones didn't. And you don't actually lose drive
