ABR 11.7 - How to Determine Sequence of Tapes

Thread needs solution

Hi All

I have been provided with around 60 LTO4 tapes which should contain Acronis backups.

The tapes are not labelled to indicate sets or sequence.

Can anyone advise on how I may be able to correctly identify them?

Does Acronis place an internal label that groups them together?

Or is the TIB file named in a manner which indicates the sequence?

Any guidance would be helpful.

thanks in advance

Hello, Rescan operation will seek through all tapes and build the list of archives, backups that reside on the tapes. The console will show the exact tape(s) for each backup. Note, it may be time-consuming operation for 60 tapes.

Thank you Andrey

I suspected that this may be the only option. Thank you for confirming. 

I will proceed with scanning the tapes.

Thanks again
