Figure 1 13 Creating Media Jobs with Wizards
You can choose from one of the following media job wizards ...
Format Media
Create a job that formats media and assigns a name to it. You might use this wizard to
schedule media formatting remotely or after normal business hours or to initialize virtual media.
Import Media (into the catalog)
Create a job that imports media into the Data Protector Express catalog
from another server. This wizard is useful if you want to import media without an administrator being
present to monitor the job.
NOTE:
This wizard is unavailable when working with virtual media.
Erase Media
Create a job to erase media whose data is no longer needed. You might use this wizard
to schedule a job that erases the contents of several media outside of normal business hours.
Sort Media
Create a job that reorganizes the media in a library. Use this wizard to schedule a sorting
task for a time when it will have the least impact on users attached to the Storage Domain.
Eject Media
Create a job that ejects media from the selected device. If this wizard not available, either
your device does not support this command or no device is selected. You might use this wizard to eject
media after a backup job is completed as a visual cue to your support staff that the job is done.
Move Media
Create a job that moves media from one storage slot in a library, drive, or mail slot to
another. You might use this wizard to move media automatically at the end of a series of backups to
help you manage media rotation more effectively.
