In this year's audit letter, the auditors said that the tapes that we use for backup are not verified. We have a 6384 Model 001 (1/4" tape cartridge) on a model 520.

I have been searching both Midrange, the InfoCenter, and Redbooks/Manuals trying to find out if the tapes are verified. Can't find anything, but thought one of you might know and, hopefully, point me to a URL that I can use in my reply.

I suspect that the tapes are verified simply because the PRTERRLOG report shows temporary and permanent errors. I print these at the end of each week, and only see a small number of temporary errors (1 or 2 per tape). Reasonably it seems to me that the system would not know if it had an error unless it was checking (verifying) what it wrote.

Thanks.
