The second migration of media is done to move media from the vault to a security company. This is done once a month. Data Protector provides a report on what media need to be moved to a security company.

Track the location of media that are moved to a vault. This is important when you want to restore from backups on media that were moved to a security company. Data Protector allows you to perform the following vaulting tasks:
