I have a tape that I thought had its contents copied onto off-site media; however, when I do a 'q con <volume_name> cop=no', I receive a list of 327 files. I tried executing a 'ba stg', but no files are copied to off-site media. The process is successful without actually doing anything. I am running ADSM 3.1.2.20 on AIX 4.2.1. I would be surprised if I didn't have off-site copies, but why do I get output from the 'q con' command? Thanks in advance, Michael A. Scurek CSC-BGI Unix Administration 630/955-7310 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
