Basics – Commands you should know Part 2

Continuing the Commands you should know topic, here’s a single variant of nsrjb that you really, really should know.

Introduced somewhere in the NetWorker 7.3.x, the fast inventory operation available in nsrjb is a boon if you’re in a situation where you’re introducing a lot of barcoded media to a library.

By running the command:

# nsrjb -II

NetWorker will inventory only those volumes that don’t need to be loaded. I.e., just the barcoded volumes that are already in the media database. Thus, this command can be a great time-saver.
