Yes you can make that process work. Your control groups have to specify to append to the tape, but I think you have that (end of media option) Use option 8 on the control group to check it. The ejection of the tape will happen if the device is varied off for some reason.

I have inherited a V4R4 system with BRMS and an IBM TS3310 tape library. I have been reading BRMS doc and entries on midrange-l and thought I'd confirm that I can make the following plan work in BRMS:

* At the beginning of the first backup mount any expired tape

* Each BRMS control group would then write to this tape and end with ENDOPT(*LEAVE)

* At 8 am the next morning the tape single tape that was used (still in the drive) would be ejected to the I/O port (where it would then send off site)

* Repeat the process for each day.

The archive entries (some of the are old) seem to indicate there could be a problem with the TS3310 ejecting a tape, so I was curious if anyone has recent experience with this tape library and BRMS.
