I have not done this before, but I think what you want to do should be possible. You would have to import the disk. You cannot add the disk.

I don't know why you are doing this. Normally, we would just wait for all the backup sets on the disk to be imported, to expire and then the disk can be freed up. What you are trying to do would just use up valuable disk space on your online storage.

It will be imported as a legacy disk storage and will be read-only.&nbsp; You can restore from them just as you would from other disk storages, but you cannot write to them.

Presumably these are all old backup sets, so why would you want to duplicate them?

Before you copy any backup set, do read this

Because I need to copy to a New Dell storage connected with Iscsi too.Can you help me in another questions:1) Instead of import, I make a Test here creating another disc. Them I catalog and inventory it and work, the backup sets are there. It is possible do it too?2) It is possible copy all backup exec files and folders from another disk with windows copy and paste, Instead of internal duplicate ? Them I will add this disk at the system, cataloging and inventory for make backups sets avaiable.
