Re: Can I initialize expired tapes using STRMNTBRM?

Paul -

"we don't have problems initializing volumes within STRMNTBRM" - does that
mean that you are somehow initializing volumes as they are expired by
STRMNTBRM?

Thanks,

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,
