Backup Tapes for Definity G3r v6

[eveton]

Has anyone had any success in getting around the problem of Avaya demanding £500 per Tape?...our tapes are now throwing alarms as they're past their operational life (in Avaya's opinion!) and we ideally need to buy 20 replacement tapes, but our budget won't stretch to £10,000!!!
These tapes are only c £8 each however they have core code on them and thus cannot be copied (copyright etc.)...any alternatives would be most welcome!

Thanks

Tony

You can use the configue tape command from the craft level password.
This will do what you want, but if you ever have a big problem with the switch and need Avaya's assistance to fix it, Avaya may will be justified in refusing to help because you are not using genuine tapes.
