	the medium in a device which is the default device of another media pool.
How to Move	In the Devices & Media context, browse for a medium, right-click it and

Moving Media When using a free pool, media are moved in two instances:

Using a Free Pool

•When media are selected (allocated) for backup, they are moved from a free pool to a regular pool.

•When the media protection has expired, media are moved from a regular pool to a free pool.

This behavior depends on the free pool options selected.
