MediaGenie Certifier module of the MediaGenie Suite supports the following functions:
Non-destructive read test for In-use media
This process will gather error statistics by reading the data that is on the tape. Soft read errors are logged by the program and a good or a bad tape will be indicated using a binary decision criterion, based on user defined thresholds.
Media write test
Optionally followed by read test. This process will overwrite any data on the tape, with data matching a specified pattern. Soft write errors are logged by the program and a good or a bad tape will be indicated using a binary decision criterion, based on user defined thresholds. There is an optional read-test after the write test.
Optional erase after test
This is desirable when the tape will be reused as a scratch tape or recycled.
