Or you could just report the images as expired and the tapes as having been returned to scratch status and leave it at that. I doubt they can require you to try to figure out which tapes previously had information anymore than they can require you to use an electron microscope to see if there are any bits of data from deleted files on your hard drives.

Our email backups need to go to specific tapes so that the tapes are reused within 24 hours of the image(s) expiring. If you used scratch tapes, when the image expires the data is still on the tape, it can be re-imported and recovered. We have many dozen scratch tapes, so the email backups could exist for weeks after the images expire. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by bruce.ellefr...@phoenix.gov via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu Proud partner.
