Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

About adding volumes

Adding volumes is a logical operation that assigns NetBackup attributes to physical media. The media can reside in storage devices already, or you can add them to the storage devices when you add them to NetBackup. How you add volumes depends on the type of volume: robotic or standalone.

Volumes in a robotic library

Standalone volumes

NetBackup uses the rules to assign names and attributes to volumes.

See About configuring media name and attribute rules.
