Revaulting unexpired tapes

If Vault tapes that have not expired are injected back into a robot, you can revault them manually.

To revault unexpired tapes

  1. Navigate to Storage > Tape storage and then select Volumes.
    • Select the Media ID you want to eject and then click Eject from robot.

  2. Transfer the media to the off-site volume group by doing the following:

    • Select the media ID(s).

    • Select Change volume group.

    • Search and select the appropriate volume group from Select existing or you can specify a new volume group.

  3. Return the media to your vault vendor so that all backups on that media are available for future disaster recovery.
  4. Run the Recovery report to ensure that the media is available for future disaster recovery operations.

    Alternatively, you can use the vmchange command to eject the media and transfer it to the off-site volume group.
