We have LTO4 tapes that contain backups that we would like to move back to disk. Is that possible? If so, how can it be accomplished? Thank you for your time!

Hello @B745639468 

You can setup a new aux copy within the same policy going to disk and set the “source copy” as the tape copy. The aux copy will read from the tape copy and write to the disk copy.

Good morning.  Are you wanting to move the jobs back to the same storage policy with the same retention, or to a new policy that is associated to a disk library?
