Description:
All CLI commands for version 7.4 of NetVault are documented in the NetVault:Backup - Command Line Interface User's Guide found on BakBone's Website

asf_load_media - This command will fail if the machine name contains any spaces.

asf_release_drive - When this command is issued to various brands of library device (e.g., those containing various Exabyte or 9840 drives), a delay of up to eight (8) minutes may occur before the media is unloaded. A known work-around for this issue is covered in the steps that follow:
1. Launch the GUI on the NetVault Server and access the Device Management window.
2. In the Devices tab, locate the target drive and right-click on it.
3. In the pop-up menu that appears, select the Unload command.
4. The drive will remain in an 'Idle' state and the media will not be unloaded as expected. If the logs for the selected device are viewed, an entry stating “Unload media in drive <X> failed - Device
unavailable will now be revealed. Repeat Steps 2 - 3 a second time, and the media will be unloaded.

nvacslsmedia - The range function does not work properly. The work around is to explicitly run this command for each media label/barcode the user wishes to allocate or deallocate. This can be accomplished
in a script.

nvexpiresaveset - Used with a NULL input for Saveset ID will cause random Saveset to be expired.

nvcleandrive - When a space character is all that is input for a library's name with this command, the first library in NetVault:Backup's device management configuration will perform a clean operation on a respective drive. For example, if the syntax nvcleandrive -libraryname <space character only> -
librarydrivenumber <X> is input and executed,

Unless specified above there are no workarounds at this time.
