strategy to replace library
Hello,
I like to replace our 10 year old library with a new one and would like to hear your thoughts about the below strategy.
Tasks i see
Make new hardware available to netbackup.
...
I don't know what this is about
Therefore:
- Assign two tapes to the 'Collective' pool.
- Remove *all* tapes from new library except one of these two tapes.
- Remove *all* tapes from old library but the source tape. Suspend the source tape.
- Duplicate the images.
- Cool, you are still here
Your steps seem fine. Since you seem to have only 1 LTO3 you need not worry to much about tape wastage. As long as what you're duplicating is the same retention it would go on to 1 media until its full.
Also, for your catalog backup, you didn't note to also change the storage unit to LTO6 drives.
