Renaming a Backup Device
When you rename a backup device, the device is no longer used under its
old name for backup or restore.
IMPORTANT Make sure that you remove the device's old name from all backup
specifications that use the device. Otherwise, Data Protector tries to back
up to or restore from a device that does not exist, and the session fails.
How to Rename a
Backup Device
Rename a backup device in the General property page of the device. For
detailed steps, refer to the online Help index keyword “renaming backup
devices”.
