Setting Data Protection for Media
Data Protector keeps track of data on every medium used. When
configuring a backup, you can protect your data from being overwritten
by newer backups for a specified time. This protection is on a session
basis: if data from several sessions is on the same media, the longest
protection defines protection of the media. See “Data Protection:
Specifying How Long Data Is Kept on the Media” on page 228 for
detailed information.
You can also re-use the media by removing their protection. See
“Recycling Media” on page 123 for more information.
