RE: Tape/Library Question

I'm not aware of a command that would allow you to copy between tapes, even though the TS2900 device has multiple tapes, you can only use one at the time.

I'd would try to RSTLIB SAVLIB(MYLIB) RSTLIB(MYLIBNEW) restore the library on disk with a different name, then Save it on the right tape.

Hi folks,



I've tied to figure this out via various commands with no luck.



I was out unexpectedly last Thursday when we ran EOM. We usually backup
the main application library BEFORE this run and outside of the daily
backup. We have a specific tape for this. And of course I had that one
with me so it couldn't be used at work if I was not there...



So I walked someone through loading the TS2900 with an extra tape for
that in addition to the normal backup tape.



I now have the main application library on a separate tape from the one
it would normally be on... I would like to move it/copy it to the EOM
tape where it belongs... Is there any way to do this with this tape
unit?



Obviously I cannot restore this library to the system with the same name
since it already exists. And it's a single partition system. Is push
come to shove I could give it another name but wanted to be sure I
wasn't missing something tape-wise.



Thanks!



Chuck
