can i unfreeze multiple tapes in a w2k environment? 1

[munkin]

Hey guys, i am a backup administrator, who can see upwards of 2-300 frozen tapes a day or even more, id there a script or a command that can be used for unfreezing multiple tapes at once instead of manually one by one?

We use windows server 200 and 2003 machines with netbackup 5-6 varies.

any help is appreciated,

Thanks

yes, all you will have to do is some sort of "for" loop. I don't know what is available for doing a for loop in windoes but since a for loop is one of the most basic steps in a program I'm sure you can find some sort of program language that will work for you. Please read this document for the syntax for bpmedia.

Just because the VERITAS documentation states a certain thing does not make it a fact and that is truth.

Loop command for windows / dos is something like this:

In the frozentapelist.txt just put each media id on a separate line... and it should work.
------------------------------------------

REM unfreeze.bat

FOR /F "eol=;" %%i in (
d:\frozentapelist.txt
) DO (
bpmedia -unfreeze -m %%i
)

-----------------------------------------

then run it like this from command line I believe:

call unfreeze.bat
