If you put a TSM tape in a library that is now controlled by NBU, then yes, NBU will overwrite it because it has no knowledge of the TSM database.
Running an inventory isn't going to help in this situation, you will need to keep track of when TSM expires the tape so you can recycle it under NBU. If NBU put the data on tape, then no, it won't be overwritten until the retention period has expired. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 9:33 AM > To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU overwriting data on Tape > > Hi > We are planning to move from TSM to NBU.
