SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING FAILING DRIVES OR MEDIA IN MEDIA LIBRARY

摘要

Embodiments of methods and systems comprise identifying failing media and/or drives for a media library. Error data can be collected from media libraries. For each tape exhibiting an error rate of interest, a determination can be made whether the tape would still have been of interest had it not been loaded in certain drives. This information can be analyzed to identify failing drives or tapes.
