Setting Data Protection for Media

Data Protector keeps track of data on every medium used. When configuring a backup, you can protect your data from being overwritten by newer backups for a specified time. This protection is on a session basis: if data from several sessions is on the same media, the longest protection defines protection of the media. See “Data Protection: Specifying How Long Data Is Kept on the Media” on page 228 for detailed information.

You can also re-use the media by removing their protection. See “Recycling Media” on page 123 for more information.
