I'm looking at revising our homegrown backup process. We have a TS2900 LTO7 autoloader/drive. The web GUI works great for moving a tape to and from the magazine and drive. I'd like to do the same thing in a program.

Have a look at CMDMLB menu, maybe this is can be part of a possible solution.
Also see this discussion about a very similar topic for hints:

All good ideas, thank you! I didn't find anything except many references to BRMS. There is an exit program that fires what a tape is moved, but that is just reporting what happened, not a way to actually move it.
