RE: Tape Drive Needs to Be Cleaned

I used to have to restore a library from a tape chosen at random by the
auditors.

A couple of times they had me restore it on the development box and then
they would do side-by-side inquiries to see if the data matched.

No. It was an empty library. All that I checked was whether or not the
library got restored without restore-type errors, not objects errors.

Initially your idea had a lot of merit, but, did that restore check to see
if some objects were not saved due to issues?

Me, I could query the BRMS files. And do a WRKOBJBRM and tell you what
volume has that object, and when it was saved, where the tape is, etc.
