I find it ballsy, whuhh! I think in restores, not backups. Consequently, I mark tapes having write errors for the second time as destroyed and throw them away, beeing afraid of them having read errors in case of later restore. Juraj

If I start getting write errors on tapes I make them a candidate for retirement, no matter how new or old they are. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Comiskey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 6:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Retiring LTO tapes Hi, I've a simple question for the group, we are using a mixture of IBM and FujiFilm LTO1 tapes in a IBM3584 library. Does anyone have a policy (or your thoughts) on retiring tapes, i.e. after X number of read/writes or X years service? Looking forward to your responses regards Stephen Comiskey Dublin, Ireland __________________________________ Notice of Confidentiality This transmission contains information that may be confidential and that may also be privileged.
