Create an entry for each volume

 

 

 

 

 

in the AMASS File System

 

 

 

Database.

 

 

 

If desired, assign a volume to a

 

 

 

volume group (3).

 

 

 

Assign each volume to a home

 

 

 

storage slot (A64).

 

 

 

Give each volume a

 

 

 

user-definable label (test).

 

 

 

 

For example: volnew 3 A64 test

 

 

 

AMASS gives each piece of

 

 

 

 

 

 

media a unique volume number

 

 

 

(for example, 33).

 

 

 

 

 

cdimport

 

Import a CD that already has data

 

 

 

on it.
