I'm trying to come up with an automated procedure to expire certain backups
after
7 years, recall the media from offsite, verify the tapes, re-write the tapes
and then
send them back offsite. I need a system that will work with NBU v5.1 and
something that I can train operations to do. Has anyone done this yet or
have any
ideas on how to automate this as much as possible? I don't want to be a tape
monkey!
