Tape Handling


Identifying Media with Extended Retention

This section provides information on how to identify and export tapes that contain data with extended retention.

If you have a VaultTracker license, you can define a tracking policy by selecting the Media with extended retention job(s) option in the Criteria tab of the Tracking Policy Details dialog box.

(See Create a Tracking Policy for step-by-step instructions.)

   
If you do not have a VaultTracker License, you can export media from a list. (See Export Media From a List for step-by-step instructions.) When you export media using a list, all media containing data with extended retention is displayed with the suffix (E) in the Export Media List dialog box as shown in the sample image on the right. You can use this information to select the appropriate media for export.

Also note that similar information is displayed when you view a list of media from the Media in Library and Exported Media pools in the CommCell Browser.
