Importing Media into a New Partition

Unless otherwise required by your backup software, the first time media is
loaded into a partition, it is imported directly to the storage pool. This
process is often referred to as "bulk import." For subsequent imports, the
media is typically imported to the entry/exit pool and then moved to the
