Hi Steve

I believe you can do it if you want to; we set it up to do that for similar
reasons, but take into account the de-dup comments made in other responses.

Per the document below: "In releases IBM i 7.2 and later, the media class
contains the Initialize media on expiration field which can be used to
indicate whether to initialize media when it expires"

All -

We back up to an EMC Data Domain (as a VTL) using BRMS. My director
doesn't want to keep unused data on the Data Domain so he wants to
initialize the expired tapes. I am currently manually initializing every
expired tape. Is there a way to initialize the tapes as STRMNTBRM
expires
them each day?

Thanks,
