Creating a Tape Log

  1. Select Commands > Inventory.

    IRIS scans the tape and generate a new log. This can take some time.

    Note that when IRIS appends files to an existing IRIS tape, a new tape log is automatically generated.

  2. When the tape is full, print a hardcopy tape log and store it in a notebook or file near where the tapes are stored. (You should also set the write protect.)

    This makes it easier to determine what product files are on a tape when data are retrieved.
