Both types of duplications are described below.
Copy Media The fsmedcopy -r commandisusedtoreplacemediaby
moving data onto newer, better media or reclaiming the wasted
space because of fragmentation.
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 -l and
fsundelete.Thefsmedcopy report can be used along with
this option for finding candidate media for defragmentation.

Note
Running the fsmedcopy -r command is time consuming
because of the update of file information. The exte nsive
database activity caused by fsmedcopy -r affects the
performance of most other FileServ commands. It is
recommended to run fsmedcopy -r duringatimeoflittleor
no use of FileServ.
