|
|
<div><p>You can use Backup, Recovery and Media Service (BRMS) to efficiently
|
|
reuse old fragmented tape volumes by copying active file sequences to unused
|
|
media.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Reclaiming your media allows you to duplicate a volume or set
|
|
of volumes that have become fragmented to new volumes. Typically, over time,
|
|
you have volumes that just sit in storage unusable. These volumes are highly
|
|
fragmented with gaps in the active file sequences due to the varying expiration
|
|
dates of the saved items on the media. The reclaim function allows you to
|
|
copy only the unexpired or active file sequences to unused (scratch) media.
|
|
The old volumes will be expired and the backup history of the active saved
|
|
items is updated to reflect the new volume. This allows you to remove the
|
|
old volumes from the media inventory or make the old volumes available for
|
|
reuse. Ultimately, this should reduce the number of active volumes you must
|
|
manage plus reduce the total number of volumes being managed and minimize
|
|
your media and media storage costs.</p>
|
|
<p>You can use the Reclaim wizard to
|
|
reclaim one or more volumes in BRMS. To access the Reclaim wizard, follow
|
|
these steps:</p>
