Because I don't believe you do initialize them. IF you are saving objectlist
detail you can still do a WRKOBJBRM and find it on that expired tape, up
until the time it is reused. You can also do a DSPTAP and see those
objects. Just because you expired the tapes does not mean the data has
been initialized off of the tape. Normally it's not an issue. Unless you
configured 16,000 tapes on your DD and BRMS will use all of them and leave
the data on them, expired or not, until the time comes for it to reuse the
tape. BRMS will:
Use new tapes first.
When there are no new tapes reuse the tape which has been expired the
longest. Only at that time is the data gone/rewritten over top of.

We also back up daily to DD and we don't have problems initializing

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,
Steve McKay
