Netvault 11.3 Tape to Tape copying

atkpa.imatra
over 7 years ago

We recently bought a new LTO-7 Tape library. Old Tape library it LTO-4. The LTO-7 drives are not able to read the LTO-4 media.

What I wan't to do is, copy the backup sets from the old LTO-4 tapes to the new LTO-7 tapes. How is this done?

    Hello.
    In this case you would have to do a data copy job from the LTO4 tapes to LTO7. However, it is important to note that we cannot copy an entire tape over as it requires copying over each backup set from the tape, which is time consuming and would likely require dozens of backups if you have many backup jobs and many tapes.
    In any case, here is a link from the documentation that shows how to create a data copy job.
