Removing Tapes from Catalog

If you do not want to store information about a tape and contents on this tape in Veeam Backup & Replication database, you can remove the tape from the catalog. For example, you can perform removal from catalog if a physical tape no longer exists, and the tape should no longer be displayed among media in the Veeam Backup & Replication console.

You can remove only tapes that are offline.

To remove one or more tapes from the catalog:

1. Open the Tape Infrastructure view.
2. Navigate to the list of tapes either under Media Pools or under Libraries > LibraryName node > Media > Offline.
3. Select offline tapes you want to remove from the catalog and click Remove on the ribbon. Alternatively, you can right-click selected tapes and select Remove from catalog from the shortcut menu.
4. In the opened dialog box, click Yes to confirm removal.
