Re: Clear virtual tape?

WRKOBJBRM only shows a few BRMS objects and a some objects that were
locked and not backed up (CPF3761).

Not sure that is of any value to us.

WRKMEDBRM shows everything even though the VT catalogs are deleted.

I can probe each tape with option 13 and look for objects.

Restoring requires sFTP of images back from BLOB and then adding files to
an image catalog where we add all 8 to one image catalog.

We tested this during a DR simulation.

Only snag was that BRMS has a bug where it doesn't put the correct "file"
on a VT that allows you to do a RSTLIB *ALLUSR.

Workaround is to do a RSTLIB *ANY or individual libs.

When you use these images and send them offsite will WRKOBJBRM show you which image to restore from? Or are you always using the same image name?
