Managing Tapes in Vault

When you have tapes placed to vaults, you can move them to another vault or remove from vault. When you remove tapes from a vault, they are still available in the Offline list or in their media pool.

To move tapes to another vault:

  1. Open the Tape Infrastructure view and select the Vaults node. Select the vault where the needed tapes are stored.
  2. In the working area, right-click the tapes you want to move and select Move to Vault. Select the target vault.

To remove tape from vault:

  1. Open the Tape Infrastructure view and select the Vaults node. Select the vault you need.
  2. In the working area, right-click the tapes you want to remove and select Remove from Vault.

The tapes are removed from vault automatically in the following situations:

  • A tape comes online. It will re-appear in the vault when it goes offline if it was not erased or overwritten.
  • A tape is removed from catalog.
  • A tape is marked as free.
