Detailed Description
This cmdlet removes a specified tape library from Veeam Backup & Replication.
When you remove a tape library, you stop managing it with your Veeam Backup & Replication console.
To remove a tape library, mind the following limitations:
- Only the libraries in the offline status can be removed. To remove a tape library, you need to physically disconnect it from the tape server first. Alternatively, you can remove the tape server to which the tape library is connected.
- You can remove the tape devices that are not used by any tape jobs. If any jobs are using the media pools assigned to the tape device, first redirect these jobs to other media pools.
