I agree that this is the proper behavior, but I've never tested it with TSM tapes. I would put a TSM that you CAN delete in there and try to label it in NBU via bplabel without the -o option and see what happens. I agree with Gregory that it should not overwrite it (unless you specify the -o option).

By default, NetBackup will only write to a blank media or other NetBackup media. Other media types (DBR, TAR, CPIO, ANSI, MTF1 and recycled Backup Exec BE-MTF1 media) will be frozen as a safety measure. This behavior can be changed with the following procedure: UNIX To allow NetBackup to overwrite foreign media, add the following to /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf for the media server in question: ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = DBR ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = CPIO ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = ANSI ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = MTF1 ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = BE-MTF1 ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = AOS/VS ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = RS-MTF1 Stop and restart the NetBackup daemons for the changes to take effect -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy Samora Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 1:12 PM To: Kristofer; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU overwriting data on Tape Will NetBackup recognize that it is a TSM tape and that there is data on there written by TSM?

NetBackup does several checks to make sure it doesn't write over a tape that is not expired. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Sent: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 09:33:03 -0600 (CST) Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU overwriting data on Tape Hi We are planning to move from TSM to NBU. We heard draw back that NBU can accidently overwrite data on tape if tape library inventory is not run after putting full tape in library. If that is true, how can we avoide ? Your help is very much appreciated.
