commands, refer to the Command Reference book.

 

Copy Media

 

 

The fsmedcopy -rcommand is used to replace media by

 

moving data onto newer, better media or reclaiming the wasted

 

space because of fragmentation.

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

Running the fsmedcopy -rcommand is time consuming

 

 

because of the update of file information. The extensive

 

 

database activity caused by fsmedcopy -raffects the

 

 

performance of most other FileServ commands. It is

 

 

recommended to run fsmedcopy -rduring a time of little or

 

 

no use of FileServ.

 

 

 

 

 

Data on the specified media is copied onto other media

 

(specified media, blank media, or a different media type not

 

specified by the DataClass group). Multiple copy to media can

 

be used if the destination media is not specified. Only active

 

files on the original media are copied onto destination media.

 

No trashcan contents are copied. After fsclean is invoked,

 

any trashcan contents are removed and the original media are

 

marked as blank. The original media can stay within the

 

DataClass group or can be moved to the general blank pool,

 

depending on the DataClass group definition. If fsclean is

 

not performed, the original media remain within the DataClass

 

group and new files are written. Any trashcan contents located

 

on the media can be recovered using fsmedinfo -land

 

fsundelete. The fsmedcopy report can be used along with

 

this option for finding candidate media for defragmentation.
