EnterpriseBACKUP

Besides OpenVMS system backup, EnterpriseBACKUP also provides and online media database. The MEDIA database is accessible on-line, allowing you to find any particular medium and what files it contains at any time, without having to mount each medium or rely on a manually updated information system. The database consists of information about every tape and removable disk or other storage device in the library. Whenever a medium is modified, the on-line information is automatically updated to reflect the new contents. There are two types of informational files about media: The header information file contains information about each medium, tape type, length, density, format, disk size, protection, initialization and availability status.

The contents information file is an optional on-line file that lists the contents of each medium, all of the files written on the medium and information about each file (creation date, version number, size). It is necessary to include a file specification in the DIRECTORY command to access the contents information file. Both header and contents information files can be accessed using the MEDIA command DIRECTORY.
