Duplicating a volume by using Vault
If you use Vault to create and eject an additional copy of a volume that is already in the off-site vault, you must use a different vault, off-site volume group, and off-site volume pool than the first volume. The additional volume does not appear in the Picking List for Vault, so you must use the Lost Media Report to recall the volume after it expires.
To duplicate a volume by using Vault
- Create and configure a new vault. Use a different off-site volume group than the first volume.
- Create and configure a new profile to duplicate and eject the volume. Assign the volume to a different off-site volume pool than the first volume.
- Configure the eject step of the profile to search the off-site volume pool in which the additional volume was assigned.
- Run the profile.
- To recall the volume after it expires, run the Lost Media Report.
If you run the Lost Media Report as part of your normal operations, the volume appears on the report after it expires.
