We have a storage policy with aux copies that was sending disk backups to a tape library. The library in question that contained all these tapes has been decommissioned. A new library was stood up and all tapes were put into this new tape library. However the aux copy that represents this data belonged to a different media server and physical library. We are trying to figure out how to take the data sent to the AUX copy in the old storage policy and move it to a new Cloudian array that has been configured as a Cloud library.

Confirm you can read tapes in New Library
- Verify that Commvault can see the tapes in the new library. If not try running a Full Scan, walk away make a coffee, eat a muffin, talk to someone on your way back to your desk, and then check results. You should see the new tapes
- Change the data paths in the old tape copy to use the new media agents and library
- Test with an out of place restore. (This will confirm that you can now read the tapes.)
Configure New Destination Copy
- Create new disk library copy in storage policy, configure the data source as the new tape library.
- Run Aux Copy. You will now see any errors if it fails. One of the most common is that the source and destination media agents cannot see each other.
