hi everyone,
Can someone clarify the tape label process for me?
Will NetBackup only label tapes the first time a tape is ever used and never
again?
or will it also label tapes that have had valid images on it but are now
expired and put back into the scratch pool?
And if I create the

we started not too long ago with Aptare. so far things are ok but the lack of
documentation from Aptare is killing me, taking up some time trying to find
things on my own. we will have about 1100+ clients.

ok, thanks for your response. reason is, we're testing a new encryption
product (compresses/encrypts) and the lto3 is new to me as well. I did see
elsewhere that the lto3 will disable compression automatically if it has to but
i don't know how to confirm that this is actually happening.
can someone tell me how i can disable compression on an hp 960 lto3 that is in
a sun library. on a windows server, the option to disable is greyed out when
looking at the driver properties, and LTT won't read the drive info (can't

This sounds very similar with what we went through. many of our daily

around the same time the next night. Depending on how busy the

it looks like it might install. is that right?

we're planning on replacing our LTO3 drives with LTO4s entirely but want to

that Netbackup sees these tapes as different media types/densities because
ACSLS provides it that way and therefore i can't mount hcart3

I have tried that, changing the nb density type of LTO3 to LTO4 but when i run
