About copying a medium
Use the
Medium Logical Copy
operation to copy all jobs on a given
tape or disk to other tapes or disks in one or more media pools.
Copying is useful to:
●
Replace a damaged disk
●
Replace a lost or damaged tape
●
Make a second copy of data for which only a single copy was
originally made
●
Copy data from one type of media to another (for example, from an
AIT tape to disk)
This operation is called a "logical" copy because it makes another copy
of the data on the source tape or disk, but may retrieve the data from
other media and may write the data to more than one destination
media pool or disk.
How copying works
The Archive Medium Logical Copy process template controls the
destination and other aspects of the copying process. Files are copied
first to the location specified in the
Temporary Location for Retrieved
Files
box of the process template, and then to the destination tape or
disk.
Note: The temporary disk location for retrieved files must be on a configured file
share.
Data included
Medium Logical Copy makes one copy of all unique data on a given
tape or disk.
It does not copy:
●
More than one copy of a file on the source medium
●
Files that already exist in a destination pool or disk
●
Files from a destroyed job
●
Files that are no longer registered to a job
If Media Manager finds an error when reading the source medium, it
tries to use other copies of the file that are in your system to build a
complete new copy of the affected medium.
