Blanking tape media

Blanking a tape deletes or erases the backup data residing on the tape. It removes the NetVault header from the tape and deletes the media label and removes any group association. Blanking a tape also removes the indexes for backups stored on the selected tapes from the NetVault Database.

After blanking, a tape becomes available to NetVault for storing future backups.

To purposely destroy the data that is stored on a tape, you must blank it from NetVault and have its data securely removed by tools that are designed for such purposes.

The following sections describe the procedures that you can use to blank tape media:

3
On the Tape Library Management page, click Bulk Blank, and configure the following options.
Table 97. Bulk blank

All media in list

To blank all media items in the Media that can be blanked list, select this check box.

Media that can be blanked

To blank specific media items, select the items in this list.

To select consecutive items, hold down the Shift key while clicking with the mouse button; to select non-consecutive items, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking with the mouse button.

Password

Type the password for the NetVault Server.

If no password is set for the NetVault Server, provide the system's root or administrator password.

Enter 'BLANK' to confirm request

To confirm, type BLANK (case-insensitive) in this box.

In the Bulk Blank Media dialog box, configure the following parameters:
Select Individual Media Items: In the media list, select the individual media items for blanking. To select consecutive items, hold down the Shift key while clicking with the mouse button; to select non-consecutive items, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking with the mouse button.
Select All Media Items: To blank all media items in the list, select the All Media in List check box.
Password: Enter the password for the NetVault Server.

Scanning tape media

You can use the Scan method to query all backups stored on a tape and import those backups that are not indexed in the given NetVault Server’s database. You can also use the Scan method to import “foreign” tapes into the NetVault Database.

To import and restore NetVault Database backups to an alternate backup server, the alternate NetVault Server must have the same NetVault Machine Name as the original server that performed the backups. The amount of time it takes to scan the tapes depends on the number of backups that need to be imported and the size of the backup indexes. The scanning process does not read the data on the tape; this process skips between the start and end of backups to read the index for each backup saveset.

You can scan indexes that are generated with the same or previous versions of NetVault. You cannot scan indexes generated with a newer version of NetVault on an earlier version of the server if the servers do not use the same index version. If an index version is not supported, the index is not imported and a message is generated in the logs.

When a tape is swapped between libraries, removed from the NetVault Server, or loaded on a device that is controlled by a different NetVault Server, the NetVault Server is unable to find any information about that tape in the NetVault Database. In this case, the first scan retrieves header information from the tape and adds this information to the NetVault Database and then marks the tape as "foreign". NetVault cannot import backups stored on a “foreign” tape until you scan the tape again.

The following sections describe the procedures that you can use to scan tape media:

3
On the Tape Library Management page, click Scan All. (If NetVault fails to start the process, click Force Scan.)
4
In the Scan Device dialog box, you can configure the following option:
Minimum life for imported backups: This option specifies the minimum life for backups that are imported to the NetVault Database. This option only applies to the backups that are not available in the NetVault Database.
Click Scan to start the scanning process and close the dialog box.
3
Click Scan. (If NetVault fails to start the process, click Force Scan.)
To select a tape from the Manage Devices page:
a
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices, and in the list of devices, click the icon to open the library that contains the tape.
Otherwise, click the Slots link or the corresponding Manage Slots icon to open the Slot Browser. In the list of slots, select the slot that has the tape.

Marking a tape as unusable

If a piece of media is damaged or not suitable for use, you can mark it as “unusable” so that it is not selected for any job. You can set this property from the Explore Tape Media Item page.

Click Explore Tape Storage. In the list of media items, select the tape, and click Explore Media.

Marking a tape as read-only

You can mark a tape as “read-only” to protect it from further writes.

There are two ways to enable this property for a tape:

You can set the Protect Media from Further Writes after Backup option in the Target Set to enable write‑protection for a tape after the backup completes. For more information, see Configuring media sharing options.
Alternatively, you can set the read-only property from the Explore Tape Media Item page. The instructions are provided in this section.
