Backup Central

I need to list the available tapes each day that have space available and
can be used for backups.

Here's what I do:

1. List all tapes in location Jukebox 1. Put this into a script called
"showjb". (I request more info than you might want)



/usr/sbin/mminfo -a -r \
'volume,barcode,%used,pool,location,olabel,volaccess,state,type' \
| grep jukebox1

(If you're not specifically interested in tapes that are in the jukebox,
just remove the "| grep jukebox1" and continue as follows:)

2. Pipe the output of the above to grep, searching for "%"
(I put that into another one-line script called "showavailable:")


(I have another one that looks for empty slots and another that looks
for unlabeled tapes, but these use nsrjb to query the jukebox)

So today I got:

You can use the following mminfo queries for instance :

Empty tapes :
mminfo -q "near,written=0,!volrecycle" -r volume,pool,barcode

Recyclable tapes :
mminfo -q "near,volrecycle" -r volume,pool,barcode

Partially filled tapes :
mminfo -q "near,!full,written>0" -r volume,pool,barcode,written

If you are interested in tapes that are not necessarily in your library,
you can remove the "near", and add "location" to the fields listed after
the -r.

And bash won't like the double quotes around a string with a "!"
in it so use single quotes. And thanks; I should have known there were
batter ways for getting information via mminfo.
