Managing the AMASS File System
3-138 Command Reference 6-00028-01 Rev A
volcopy
Copy data from a source volume to a destination volume. If the
original volume is lost, destroyed, or damaged, you can use the
duplicate volume exactly like you would the original.
AMASS supports volcopy on the following media:
•WORM
• Rewritable optical (MO)
•Tape
This command copies the Backup Volume as well as all other
volumes “known” to the File System Database. A volume is
known to AMASS when an entry is created in the Database and
AMASS assigns it a unique volume number.
Optional Feature
Caution
If you write to the source volume again or use the volcomp
command on it—without recreating a duplicate copy—data
corruption may result because the duplicate is no longer exactly
like the original volume.
Optional Feature
Enable this optional feature with an authorization string obtained
from ADIC. To request a string, refer to the Site-Specific Tasks
chapter in
