I agree using NTBackup to backup your systemstate is a good idea. Also remember that the system state backup for Windows 2003 works differently than with Windows 2000. If none of the files in \system32 change then nothing in the folder is backed up each night. As a result every backup after th

Re: no status of empty when querying volume

If you just want the count of scratch tapes, and only have one library, you can run "select count(*) from libvolumes where status='Scratch'" to see how many scratch tapes you have. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] He who laughs last has a good backup.

I can't take credit for this. I believe someone on the list came up with it or I used Excel with ODBC to come up with it (I stink at select queries), I put it into a script I call scratch_query. First it gives the number of scratch tapes then it list them. Select library_name, count(*) from libvo

Re: no status of empty when querying volume

Hi Christopher! A q vol only returns storagepool volumes. A scratch tapes are not storagepool volumes. As soon as TSM has written data to them, they become storagepool volumes. Normally you will only see volumes in a full, fillling or a pending state. As far as I know, the empty state you will only

Re: no status of empty when querying volume

Chris, When a tape is scratch, it is not assigned to any pool, and therefore TSM does not report it as an empty volume. You can define a volume to a storage pool: define volume And until you write something to that volume, it will appear as empty when you issue your "q vol". -Lloyd On Tue
