Preview volume configuration changes for a robot
This option lets you preview the changes and ensure that all new media have barcodes before you add them to the database.
Note:
If you preview the configuration changes first and then update the database, the update results may not match the results of the preview operation. Possible causes may be the changes that occur between the preview and the update. Changes can be to the state of the robot, to the database, to the barcode rules, and so on.
See Update the NetBackup volume configuration with a robot's contents.
