What Is Exporting	Exporting (removing) a medium removes the information about the
Media?	medium and its contents from the IDB. Data Protector no longer
	recognizes that this medium exists. The medium and the data it contains
	remain unchanged. You can import the medium later, thus re-reading
	the information about data on the medium back to the IDB. See
	“Importing Media” on page 113 for instructions.
When to Export	If you want to move media to another cell, you have to export the media
Media	from one cell and import them to another.
	Media that contain protected data cannot be removed. You have to
	recycle the media first. See “Recycling Media” on page 123 for
	instructions.
TIP	Export all the media from a backup session. If a backup session spans
	several media and you do not remove all of them, you will not be able to
	restore data; Data Protector still recognizes that data exists on the
	media, but the media will not be available anymore.
How to Export	In the Devices & Media context, browse for a medium, right-click it and
Media	click Export. For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index keyword
	“exporting media”.
What’s Next?	See “Adding Media to a Media Pool” on page 107 if you want to add media
	to another pool or move them to another cell.
	See “Importing Media” on page 113 if you want to import media into
	another cell.
