No one has any information on this?

If you are using BackupExec 10, then looke at the Update vault wizard? You configured the time periods when a media is available to be moved off site and when it is to be returned. Running the wizard will select those media that need to be moved and will automatically update the information plus automatically run the export on those tapes in the robotic library.

By the way. Why are you not using TSM any more?

Hello,

A media vault is a logical representation of the actual physical location of media. You can create user-defined media vaults to keep track of where media is physically stored, such as a special media room, a scratch bin, or an off-site location. For example, you could create a media vault where media to be sent off-site is moved, then print the media vault contents report, which lists the media contained in that vault, to accompany the physical media to its off-site storage.

But you can't schedule media to move to vault and back. It's a process that you manually kick off. Which is pointless. Backup exec isn't going to try to use a tape that isn't in the system anymore. I don't see a point in using this feature if it is still up to the administrator to manually start a process to move the tapes.


Also. The setting to move the media is for after it can no longer be written to. Is this when the append period expires? If so now you have to guess when to set your media to expire appending which will cause you to have unused tapes space if you cannot forsee the future of backup times.Message was edited by:

The company I just moved to does not have Tivoli. They were told by consultants to purchase backup exec. Backup exec just doesn't have the features of an Enterprise product. Tape management is the most important thing once you get the data on tape. Backup exec will put data on tape no problem. Keeping track of more than a handful of tapes or storing tapes outside of the system and it just lacks features to handle it seemslike.
