Exporting Media from Data Protector
What Is Exporting
Media?
Exporting (removing) a medium removes the information about the
medium and its contents from the IDB. Data Protector no longer
recognizes that this medium exists. The medium and the data it contains
remain unchanged. You can import the medium later, thus re-reading
the information about data on the medium back to the IDB. See
“Importing Media” on page 113 for instructions.
When to Export
Media
If you want to move media to another cell, you have to export the media
from one cell and import them to another.
Media that contain protected data cannot be removed. You have to
recycle the media first. See “Recycling Media” on page 123 for
instructions.
TIP Export all the media from a backup session. If a backup session spans
several media and you do not remove all of them, you will not be able to
restore data; Data Protector still recognizes that data exists on the
media, but the media will not be available anymore.
How to Export
Media
In the Devices & Media context, browse for a medium, right-click it and
click Export. For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index keyword
“exporting media”.
