It uses a 1024 byte ANSI label. You don't say what kind of system you have,
but if it is UNIX you can dd bs=1024 if=/dev/rmt/xxxxx | od -c to see what
it looks like.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] label question

 


Dear all, 

I have a  question for the backup group:  When NetBackup starts writing to a
new tape, what label format does it use?  In particular, do you know if it
writes an ANSI or IBM label, or if it just uses a NetBackup-specific label?
