Managing the AMASS File System

This solution provides faster backups than if the data is accessed randomly because it requires fewer volume swaps. With this solution you can do full or incremental backups.

Use Redundant Media

A third solution is to use a second set of media stored offline, or outside of the library.

You can use the AMASS volcopy command to copy data from a source volume to a destination volume. If the original volume is lost, destroyed, or damaged, you can use the duplicate volume exactly like you would the original. For more information on this command, see “volcopy” on page 3-138.
