ok .. so what you are saying is that .. when I move the data from the faulty tape to another ... tape ... I should do a restore stg .... right .. ! but .. My question was .. how can I MOVE DATA since everytime the tape is inserted into the drives it couldn't read it ... and it will make the tape READONLY ... and then ... after a few times trying it will make the tape UNAVAILABLE >.... I thank you .. for telling me what I should do .. after the data is moved ... but what I need is how can I FORCE move the data to another tape ... !!

Note any errors. If there are any errors use the "RESTORE STG" command to repair the storage pool. Finally, eject the tape and discard it. Orville L. Lantto Datatrend Technologies, Inc.
