How to unload all tapes from autoloader

[Ivan_Wong]

I'm a newbie on Backup Exec... the maintenance staff just resigned. But our office need to move to another location in next week.

Could anyone tell me the proper steps to unload all tapes from a autoloader (Dell LT2000) using Backup Exec?

And after moved to new location... the tape insert back to the autoloader... do I need to do anything on Backup Exec?

Thanks in advance.

1)Unlock the magazines using library front panel. 

2)Take out all the tapes.

3)Insert the magazines back into the library. 

After inserting the tapes back into the library run scan operation on the library through BE.

EDIT: After inserting the catridges back, library automatically performs it's own inventory. The scan operation in BE updates the Backup Exec Database with the latest information about where the media are located.
