I'm not a BRMS expert, but I have used it and as far as I know, you have to enroll a volume to use it in BRMS.

Hi Gary, <br />
<br />
Thank you. &nbsp;Our guy which is responsible for backups wanted to stop using BRMS because he didn't want to deal enrolling the number of tapes it looks like we are going to be required to have. &nbsp;This did not seem like a reasonable solution and I was hoping for a short cut. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks again. <br />

Gotta initialize the tapes anyway - not like it is but a few seconds more work to enroll.

Good to know. I have never had to do it. <br />
<br />
Can you tell me how to see how much space we are using on a tape? <br />
<br />
Thank You!!!!

I found what I need in BRMS &quot;Media Activity&quot;. &nbsp;This is close enough for me right now.

Hi, <br />
<br />
We need to start using a new tape each night for the backup and keep these tape indefinitely (long story). &nbsp;I would like to have BRMS use the tape without enrolling all the tapes. &nbsp;Can I do this? <br />
<br />
Thank you, <br />
