• media age

The age of a medium is calculated as the number of months that have elapsed

since you formatted, or initialized, the medium. Once a medium is older than the

threshold number of months, it is marked as poor.

• device errors

Some device errors result in the medium being marked as poor. If a device fails

during a backup, the medium used for the backup in this device is marked as

poor.

Media management after backup sessions

Once the data is stored on the media, you must take the right precautions to protect

the media and the data on the media. Consider the following:

• Protecting media from overwrites.

You have specified this when you configured a backup of data, but you can

change this after the backup is done. For more information on data and catalog

protection, see “Keeping backed up data and information about the

data” on page 99.

• Protecting media from physical damage.

Media with permanent data may be stored to a safe place.

• Copying backed up data and keeping the copies at a safe place.

See “Duplicating backed up data” on page 112.

The following sections describe how to vault media and restore from such media.

Vaulting

What is vaulting?

Vaulting is a process of storing media with important information to a safe place,

where they are kept for a specific period of time. The safe place for media is often

called a vault.

Data Protector supports vaulting with the following features:

• Data protection and catalog protection policies.

• Easy selecting and ejecting of media from a library.

• The field media location tells you the physical location where the media are stored.
