Reuse tapes from failed jobs

OlegKh
Level 2

Hello

I have a job what backups to the tapes and this job is failed.

I have checked the tapes and there is NO Backup Sets on these tapes and they are not empty.

I run Catalog on one of used tape and it showed the list of another 5 tapes, and these tapes contains Backup Sets. However, I still don't see Backup Sets on tape after Catalog.

Can I safely move the tapes listed in the faled job log to Scratch?

 

Thank you.

Unless you desperately need these tapes, I would suggest that you let them expire naturally.
