I've got a HP Surestore 2/40 tape library being controlled by arcserve 2000 advanced edition. The company purchased and wants me to set it up to be able to take tapes off-site each day. This library is not really setup to do this, but more for just a tape rotation over like a 2 week time period. Basically, I want to fill slots 1-4 with tapes each day, run the backup, open the drawer the next morning, replace the 4 tapes with 4 new tapes, have the software import/inventory the new tapes easily, and I want a cherry on top. Right now there are too many steps to follow to be able to explain this process to my weekend backup duty people. Any ideas on how to simplify the tape exchange process so it's not so complicated for the average "joe".
