Options for GFS Object to Tape Job

This step of the wizard is available if you selected a GFS media pool at the Full Backup step of the wizard.

At the Options step of the wizard, specify archiving and media automation options:

  • To automatically eject the tape from the tape drive and place it into a slot when the job finishes, select the Eject media upon job completion check box.
  • If you want to pull out the tapes with some media sets from the tape device, select the Export the following media sets upon job completion check box. You can use this option, for example, to move tapes to another storage location. The tape device will eject the tapes that belong to the selected media set.

Click Media Sets and select the media sets that you want to export.

  • To limit the number of drives to use for processing the tape job, select the Limit the number of drives this job can use to N tape drives check box and specify the number of drives to use. For more information, see Add Optional Media Pool Settings.
