Scan Tape utility

This option creates a report that gives you information about your tape backup sessions. (Each source node that you select to back up is saved on tape as an individual session.) You can scan a single session or an entire tape.

Using the Reporter option, you can create a report that lists information about each session. You can select to see just summary information and any errors that occurred during the scan or you can select to see each file that was backed up as well as the summary information and errors. A sample report appears below:



You could use the Scan Tape option to find out what is on a tape.

You would need to do this if you are trying to recover a SCO ARCserve/Open host and you need to find the most recent backup of the SCO ARCserve/Open database so that you can restore it.

You could also use the Scan Tape option if you want a list of the files that were backed up.
