Migrating Tape Media

Media Migration

It may be necessary to migrate backup sets stored on tape media from one PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance to another. In order to migrate tape media from one appliance to another, the tape media must be exported from the tape library attached to the original appliance.

Exporting Tape Media

An export job must be created to export tape media so that the Backup Exec database is updated. The Backup Exec export media job fully supports robotic libraries with portals. When this job is run on one or more robotic library slots, the exported media is placed in the portals. If you select more media than there are portals, the robotic library will fill as many slots as possible, and then you are prompted to remove the media from the portal. This process continues until all of the selected media has been removed from the robotic library.

1.Open the Symantec Backup Exec Management Console.

2.Click Devices on the navigation bar.

3.Select the robotic library containing the tape media.

4.Click Slots.

5.On the Results pane, select the slots you want to export tape media from.

6.Under Media Tasks in the Task pane, select Export media.

7.Complete the appropriate options as follows:

•Job Name

•Job Priority

8.Select Run Now to have the import media operation run.

Importing Tape Media

On the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance that you wish to import the tape media into, you must create an import media job to insert media into your robotic library so that the Backup Exec database is updated. The Backup Exec import media job fully supports robotic libraries with portals. When this job is run, the slots you selected are checked for media. If media is found, it is exported to the portals. After all the media has been exported, you are prompted to insert new media into the portal so it can be imported. This process continues until all of the requested media has been imported into the robotic library.

Before you create an import media job, note the following:

•If the media does not have a bar code, when you create the import job, you must select the option Auto-inventory after import is completed.

•If your robotic library uses a media magazine, make sure no jobs are currently running and that all media are ejected from the drive and are back in the magazine slots before

swapping the magazine.

You can select any number of slots to import. You can monitor this job on the Job Monitor. To import media to a robotic library:

1.On the navigation bar, click Devices.

2.Select the robotic library.

3.Click Slots.

4.On the Results pane, select the slots you want to import media to.

5.Under Media Tasks in the Task pane, select Import media.

6.Complete the appropriate options as follows:

•Job Name

•Job Priority

7.Backup Exec must inventory the media after it has been placed in the library. In order for Backup Exec to automatically create an inventory job to run after the import job completes, under Settings, click Options, and then select Auto-inventory after import is completed.

8.Select Run Now to have the import media operation run.
