NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Suspend or unsuspend volumes

You cannot use a suspended volume for backups until retention periods for all backups on it have expired. At that time, NetBackup deletes the suspended volume from the NetBackup media catalog and unassigns it from NetBackup.

A suspended volume is available for restores. If the backups have expired, first import the backups.

To suspend or unsuspend media

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI.
  2. On the left, select Storage > Tape storage.
  3. Select the Volumes tab.
  4. Select the volumes that you want to suspend or unsuspend.
  5. Select Suspend or Unsuspend.
  6. Select Confirm.
