Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Adding volumes by using the wizard

The easiest way to add volumes is to use the Volume Configuration Wizard. NetBackup assigns media IDs and labels the volumes automatically.

To configure volumes by using the wizard

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand Media and Device Management > Devices.
  2. From the list of wizards in the right pane, click Configure Volumes and follow the wizard instructions.

    You can change the default settings and rules that NetBackup uses to name and assign attributes to new removeable media.

    See About configuring media name and attribute rules.
