I've got 2 questions. 1) I'm on a Win2k machine w/ LTO1 tapes/drives, and I'd like to know if I can clear a catalog tape (that was used w/ vault) so I can put it into rotation with the other 'regular' backup tapes since i'm running low and the tape has expired. The bpexpdate command doesn't work.
2) Is there any quick way I can find out how much space is being used on the catalog tape? I've read it's around 3% but I have no way of knowing. It really seems wastefull to put 1 or 2 gigs worth of data onto a 100GB tape. Any Suggestions?
Thanks for your response in advance.
