You can mark a tape as “read-only” to protect it from further writes. However, once the media is marked as read-only, new media must be assigned to tenants to store backups.
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. |

A piece of media is automatically marked for reuse when the last saveset stored on it is retired. You can also manually set this property from the Explore Tape Media Item page. NetVault overwrites any existing data on the tapes when they are reused; hence, before marking a media for reuse, ensure that tenant’s Savesets are not present on that media.
When a piece of media is manually marked for re-use, NetVault retains its media label and group associations. To reuse such media, you must set the Reuse Media option in the Target Set to one of the following: Any or With the same group label as target media.
