Hi uminds, in our company we use media group because we do some datacopy on seperate LTO-6 media for some clients.

With media group we have LTO-6 dedicated. Also, you can set some rights to your users (in manage users), some people can manage LTO-6 from this group and not from other group, etc..

Hope it helps,
Regards,
bbes

"Media group" is an important Option for tape re-use and grouping backup jobs on the same media group. You should use same media groups for same backup life (expire) and allow to reuse media in "target option sets".
