If it is a UNIX server like Solaris, the messages file may give you some information about the drive that had the error. There is also a error file in netbackup/db/media that logs the drive index and tape number. Carl Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 15:44:14 -0600 From: Sixbury, Dan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.0 Catalog size compared to 5.1

2007-01-30 Thread Carl Mathews

2007-05-14 Thread Carl Mathews
No - it was just Dave talldoode statement about the way command were recommended to expire tapes. My question was about images so maybe bpexpdate will leave the catalog corrupted when it expires the tape. Dave said oh, just do this to expire that pesky tape makes me cringe. Thanks Carl Mathews
