About recycling a volume

If you recycle a volume, you can use either the existing media ID or a new media ID.

Caution:

Recycle a volume only if all NetBackup data on the volume is no longer needed or if the volume is damaged and unusable. Otherwise, you may encounter serious operational problems and a possible loss of data.
