I would like to take some of our long term tapes and copy them to our cloud instance, but when I right click on the tape and select recopy - I get “Recopy operation for media of a primary copy is not allowed”, when I try tape to tape I only see the on-prem libraries so I cannot trick it into going to our cloud instance.  How would I go about doing something like this.  I would like to get away from being dependent on having a specific library around for older tapes that we are required to keep long-term.  Especially when those tape libraries go end of life and I still have tapes that can only be read in them.

 

@PGroth have you created an Aux Copy pointing to the cloud library?

Set the tape copy as the source (assuming it is not the Primary) and it will copy the jobs accordingly.


Thanks Mike, I am going to set that up and try it.


Great, keep me posted!
