5. In order to restore from a destination cartridge, either load it into a physical drive that is visible
to the backup application, or perform a Load for Restore. Load for Restore copies the destination
tape back into the virtual cartridge so that the backup application can then restore from the virtual
cartridge.

Creating an Echo Copy Pool

Echo copy pools are created from physical library slots after a destination tape library is added to
the VLS automigration configuration. Each echo copy pool defines:
• The single destination library
• The single source virtual library
• The slot range
• The echo copy pool policy
Each virtual library has a SAN policy, and those used as a replication library will also have a
LAN/WAN policy. These policies are set up during the creation procedure.
To create an echo copy pool:
1. On the Automigration/Replication tab, expand Destination Libraries on the navigation pane so
that you can see all the related items.
2. Expand the destination library for which you want to create a pool.
3. Select Copy Pools on the navigation pane.
4. From the task bar, select Create Echo Copy Pool.
The CREATE ECHO COPY POOL screen displays (see
Figure 46 Creating an echo copy pool (LAN/WAN shown)
.
5. Enter a start slot number and an end slot number for the copy pool from within the available slot
range.
6. Select the local library where your echoed virtual cartridges will be placed from the Local Library
list.
