For info, you don't need to format tapes.  It is possible to 're-label them, but to be honest there is no need, as NBU does this automatically when required.

A couple of other tape related commands that can be useful are :

vmquery -a  (or -m <media id> for a specific tape)

bpmedialist (or with the -m <media id>option)  - Not that this command only returns info on tapes that are assigned, so 'not in EMM db' message is not an issue, unless there should be images on the tape).

vmpool -listall bplabel -m ( media-id ) -p ( pool-number) -u (drive-index-number ) available_media All commands with options and arguments along with examples can be found in NBU Commands manual : http://www.veritas.com/docs/DOC6489 PS: I will move this post to the NetBackup forum as this is not directly related to NBU Appliances.
