Screen
2Select from the Select Media to Transcribe list one or more media, and then click Apply.
3After the status screen informs you that the media has been transcribed, click Close.
If transcription or reclamation starts and all the drives are in use, SNSM prioritizes and queues the job. When two drives become available, the queued job starts and all active files are transcribed. When transcription is complete, SNSM updates the database to reflect the new location of the files.
If the transcription or reclamation process encounters a file that spans multiple media, only the portion of the file that exists on the old media is transcribed.
When the transcription or reclamation process is complete, only deleted files remain on the source media. To remove the source copy of the deleted files, you must clean the media as described in Cleaning Media on page 237. After the cleaning process is complete and the source copy of the deleted files are removed, the media is available for reuse as blank media.
