Hi,
at the moment we have 1210 LTO4-tapes overall. I think, that this is too much for our backup/archive.
We have two server, one for backup and one for archiving. We do a space relamation ervery day.
When I do a "q vol" and a "q drm" on both servers and generate a tape list and compare this list with our list of used tapes, I got an amount of 838 tapes, which doesn´t appear in "q vol" an d "q drm".
Are these tapes orphaned tapes or is there any data on it which I need ? Is there a command, where I can see all tapes known in the database with valid data ?
Can I use these tapes as scratch again ?
If these are unused tapes, how can this happen ?
Kind regards
Walter Reis
