Dear alpha-osf-managers,
does any of you have expperiences in refreshing tapes (in our case
DAT-tapes)?
I imagine that the following procedure should be viable:
-two TLZ09 tape drives attached: /dev/nrmt0h /dev/nrmt1h
-tape to be refreshed in /dev/nrmt0h
-one further tape in /dev/nrmt1h
1.) tcopy /dev/nrmt0h -> /dev/nrmt1h
2.) tcopy /dev/nrmt1h -> /dev/nrmt0h
Will this procedure inform me when data errors occur?
Is there a way to do the refresh via harddisk, reducing the risks of
media errors?
Grateful for any help,
Thomas Meyer, EDV-Systemadministrator
