Key Features
Implementing nTier Deduplication 44
• Recycle a physical tape
Before you
import a tape
You must verify the following before you can import tapes:
• The drive type (i.e. IBM:ULTRIUM-TD3) and the media type (i.e. Ultrium3) of
the library you are importing from must match the library to which you are
importing.
• If you are connecting through a switch, the nTier appliance must be in the
same zone as the physical tape library or other nTier appliance from which
you are importing.
To import data
from a physical
tape
1. Expand the Physical Tape Libraries object in the tree and right-click on the
physical tape library/drive.
Select Import Tape .
2. Select the virtual library to which you want to import a tape.
Be sure to pick a drive/library with the same tape size capacity.
3. Select how you want the data copied.
Copy Mode - Copies the entire contents of a physical tape onto a virtual tape
and leaves the physical tape unchanged.
Direct Access Mode - Links a physical tape to its virtual counterpart. This gives
the backup application immediate access to the tape data without waiting for a
complete copy. This is useful when you need to restore a small amount of data
from a physical tape.
Recycle Mode - Recycles a physical tape after its retention period has been
reached. If you import a tape in recycle mode and the virtual tape is
subsequently initialized, the physical tape is now considered recycled and can
be used for future export operations.
4. Select the physical tape you want to import.
