I see that the media is full. But I have purged and relabeled the tape for testing. From reading the documentation, should this not have marked the tape to be recycled? Or do I need to move the tape into the scratch pool for this to happen? I have also run the btape fill command to test the drive and media (after purging and relabeling). I get the following output: btape: btape.c:2736 End of tape 201:0. Volume Bytes=200,404,463,616 It is an LTO 3 tape, so I should get 400GB uncompressed? > It looks like on the tape is ~400GB data. Backup from above output has > ~200GB data written. It looks well for me. Looking on 'Volume Session > Id' it seems there also is some another backup. You can see jobs > placed on this volume eg. by using bconsole. Apologies if I'm doing something silly, but is there a way I can "erase" the tape to ensure that there is nothing on the tape? Other than purge and relabel? Thanks -- Andre Rossouw <an...@arnet.co.za> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
