Hey Guys!

We have a few tapes with only a small amount of data. So we want to do a Media Refresh. But the Library has only one drive, so Media Refresh wouldn’t work?

Re-Copy could be another solution, but jobs from the source are already deleted and existing only on the Tapes with longer retention.

So I’m sitting here and scratching my head what we can/should do with those 5 Tapes with only a small amount data, because we need scratch tapes, so thats why we want to copy them together just to one Tape.

Hello @CVtroublemaker 

 

There is a multi step process but you can create a new copy in you storage policy where the source is the tape data and the destination is a disk library. Once it is copied you can then clean up your tapes and do what you need to do and then copy the data back to tape by creating a new copy again. 

 

Its a bit messy but you can clean it all up once you have done all the staging and moving around. 

 

Kind regards
