Moving Media to Another Pool
Data Protector lets you move a medium from one media pool to another
media pool of the same media type.
You need this feature if you want to reorganize the backups and
rearrange the purpose of each pool. It is also useful when you want to use
the medium in a device which is the default device of another media pool.
How to Move
Media to Another
Pool
In the Devices & Media context, browse for a medium, right-click it and
click Move to Pool. For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index
keyword “moving media”.
Moving Media
Using a Free Pool
When using a free pool, media are moved in two instances:
• When media are selected (allocated) for backup, they are moved from
a free pool to a regular pool.
• When the media protection has expired, media are moved from a
regular pool to a free pool.
This behavior depends on the free pool options selected.
For further information see “Creating a Media Pool” on page 102.
