The Media Tool

Erase Tapes: Erase all data on a tape before it is discarded.

Certify Tapes: Insure that new and existing tapes do not have errors that would cause costly reruns.

Mapping a Tape: Verify the characteristics of a tape, what files are on tape, how many, names, DCB characteristics, blocksizes, creation and expiration dates, compression statistics and more...

Media Conversion

Convert and Stack: FATSCOPY can convert tape datasets from one media type to another. For example, you could convert 100 3480 tapes to an IBM 3590 Magstar tape or an IBM 3592 tape catridge and all of the files on the 3480s will be stacked on the 3590 or 3592 and recataloged, transparent to the using application. FATSCOPY supports CA-1 and IBM's RMM tape management systems.

VTS Support: Tape files can be moved to A VTS (Virtural Tape Server) or from a VTS to real tape. FATSCOPY supports VTS, VSM, CopyCross and CA-VTAPE.
