Moving Media to Another Pool

 

Moving Media to Another Pool

 

Data Protector lets you move a medium from one media pool to another

 

media pool of the same media type.

 

You need this feature if you want to reorganize the backups and

 

rearrange the purpose of each pool. It is also useful when you want to use

 

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

Media to Another

keyword “moving media”.

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.
