About ejecting media

If you configure a profile to defer ejection, you must perform or schedule another action to eject media.

You can use one of the following actions to eject media that was not ejected by a profile that selected or duplicated images:

  • Manually by using the Vault management node in the NetBackup Web UI

  • Manually by using the Vault Operator Menu

  • Manually by using the vlteject command

  • Automatically by creating and scheduling a Vault policy and entering the appropriate vlteject command and options in the file list

Note:

You must use one of the Vault methods to eject media. If you use a NetBackup or Media Manager option to eject media, the correct database entries are not made and the Vault reports are not accurate.

For information about Vault methods to eject media, refer to the following:

  • See Previewing media to be ejected.

  • See Ejecting media by using NetBackup Web UI.

  • See Ejecting media by using the Vault operator menu.

  • See Ejecting media by using the vlteject command.
