Vault - Returning Expired Media
Hello,
I've just set up Vaulting for my NetBackup 7.6 environmnent. Tapes are happily being Vaulted on a daily basis but the daily 'Picking List for Vault' report remains blank.
I've noticed from within the NBU media view that I have Vualted media assigned to the Scratch Pool that also belong to my Off-site volume group. The same media is listed in the Picking List for Robot email report that I received but they are missing from the NetBackup Vault report from the same date.
I'm assuming that as the media now appears as associated with the Scratch Pool that all images have expired and they are available for future backups. I am also assuming that the media should have been listed in the 'Picking List for Vault' report and returned to site?
I'm missing something obvious I'm sure but can someone assist please?
Thanks
Ahh, yes containers are a bit of a different story, didn't think of that.
Most people use slots, and I'll be honest and say you don;t see containers very much, I'd have to have a play around to remind myself - I will hazard a guess that all media in the container would have to expire before it is called back, but that is a guess, I'd have to have a play/ check manuals.
If using slots works for you, go with that, it's more simple and what the vast majority of people do.
I think in almost 8 years, I've only had one case using containers ...
