Hi Guys, 

i have Quatum scalar i3 tape library, which is connected to the MA via 8 GB FC link. The library has one LTO 8 drive and also the Active Vault licence. what i want ? 

  • every friday synthetic backup to tape - i have dedicated 20 LTO8 media in Online, Partition, after backup the media will be exported to the offline partiton in the library. 
  • every day bigdata index and DR to the another for example 2-4 media, these media will be online in library and not exported after backup to offline partition, because DR and indexes use only about 20 Gb per day and LTO8 has 11 TB = wasting of tapes. 

How to configure it ? 

any advices ?

Hi ​@TomasK ,

 

Media Refresh enables you to move valid data from a tape media to another media. By using Media Refresh, you can consolidate data of media that belong to the same stream and recycle the old tape media, thus utilizing media efficiently.
