About reserved volume pool name prefixes
NetBackup reserves the following prefixes (case sensitive) for the names of the volume pools that contain media for specific purposes:
|
ENCR |
For volumes on which NetBackup encrypts the data. The volumes in a volume pool that uses this name prefix must be targeted to encrypting tape drives. |
|
WENCR |
For WORM volumes on which NetBackup encrypts the data. The volumes in a volume pool that uses this name prefix must be targeted to encrypting tape drives. See About NetBackup encryption options. |
|
WORM |
For WORM volumes. NetBackup does not encrypt the data. |
NetBackup examines the volume pool names to determine if they are special purpose volume pools. If a volume pool name begins with one of the special prefixes, NetBackup processes the media in that pool according to the requirements for that pool. If not, NetBackup does not use special processing for that volume pool's media.
When you create a volume pool for any of these purposes, you must use uppercase characters. For readability, it may be beneficial to use an underscore character after the prefix, for example WORM_ or ENCR_.
