Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Changing the owner of a volume

You can change the media server or server group that owns the volume.

To change the owner of a volume

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand Media and Device Management > Media.
  2. In the Volumes list, select the volume that you want to change.
  3. On the Actions menu, select Change Media Owner.
  4. In the Media Owner field, select one of the following:

    Any (default)

    Allows NetBackup to choose the media owner. NetBackup chooses a media server or a server group (if one is configured).

    None

    Specifies that the media server that writes the image to the media owns the media. No media server is specified explicitly, but you want a media server to own the media.

    A server group

    Specify a server group. A server group allows only those servers in the group to write to the media on which backup images for this policy are written. All server groups that are configured in the NetBackup environment appear in the drop-down list.

  5. Click OK.
