ID barcodes
- Thread starter pct3ch
- Start date
The Barcode ID is used to label the tape the first time it is mounted in the tape drive.
To re-use a barcode for another media you must first check that the original tape is exipired and remove it (GUI)from Netbackup (because even when it is recycled it remains in Netbackup as a tape eligible for recycling, and it still exist in the media database).
Then you can apply the old barcode to a new tape (ideally you should re-label the old tape or be sure that you'll not re-use it with this Netbackup server, this to be sure that you won't have two media IDs for one "Catalog Description"
