IN order to do that quickest, you would want to have a media server or two that is configured to see both 9940 and LTO4 drives. Then, setup those media servers to read and write to the itself and let it run.
If you use one media to read 9940 media and then duplicate to another media server with LTO4 drives, then the data will travel the network. You do not want this to happen. This will cause the duplications to take a very very very long time to complete. -Rob Thelen. -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of X_S Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 11:00 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] need help with mass tape copy we are using nb 6.5.5 on windows 2003 platform with vault. we need to copy a few hundred 9940 tapes to LTO4 media and am looking for the best and most efficient way to copy the tapes. my other question is, can i use one media server to read the 9940 tapes and have them duplicated to another media server that has the LTO4 drives attached? thanks +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by xsp...@yahoo.com 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 _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
