The tapes I am using are Maxell DAT 72. We backup every night and I have one
tape for every weekday and additional ones for every month end. I re use the
month end from year to year. (I.e. Tape physically labeled June 2010 will
be saved in vault and will be replaced with month end tape labeled June 2011
next year on July 1, 2011) I’m trying to figure out which of the month end
tapes is the most recent by trying to view the files…since the physical
labeling was distorted. The backup tape from June 2010 should have files on
it dated June 30,2010 and nothing after that date. July 2010 would have
files dated July 31, 2010 and nothing after that date and so forth…..
Hope this help with the information you needed and any ideas are deeply
appreciated.
Thanks,
Cooper2010
