DAILY JOB + LABEL ON MSL6030 1

[kikithefly]

Hi,

Here is the sum-up :
I am a total noob on Legato. I am on 7.1.3.
Our MSL is a MSL6030 from HP, with one LTO3 drive and 29 slots. Each day i want to perform a Full backup of all my servers, then eject the tape in the mail slot once finished.
Well...Once said, the following is certainly easy for you :

a) I'd like to have 4 sets of 7 tapes labelled like this XXXYYYZZ where XXX is a fixed character String (SAR in my case), YYY the day of the week (MON, TUE, WED,THU, FRI, SAT, SUN) and ZZ the number of the set.
=> I can't find in the GUI for windows how to enter a coreect labeling suite. I tried SAR then MON TUE WED... then the range 01-04 but it doesn't work as expected.

b) I am searching a kind of script or a GUI setup if exists that could enable me to save automaticaly without human intervention SARMON01 then SARTUE01 then SARWED01...etc until SARSUN04... And restart to SARMON01.
I should then covering one month.

c) The Barcode is OK but i don't see it as a Volume label in "Operations"... How comes ?

I don't know if it is the correct way so any input on this subject is welcome.
My only need : Saving each day a full backup that my MSL6030 will handle perfectly without any human intervention.

Thank you all for your help.

You my want to conceder this way of tape management:

Create pools based upon ssid retention. For example 30-day pool, 90-day pool, then divide your clients in the groups by pools. Use a general labeling systems (i.e. 100000 for a barcode tapes). Let Networker manage the volume bar codes and labels.

Netc Label System is a cheap labeling software in which you can make your own barcode labels. Approx $500 for a single format label setup

Mega Report is free reporting tools that will help you track ANYTHING in Networker. I high recommend getting this shareware tool
