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.

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. |

In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage. |

To mark the tape as read-only, click Mark Read Only. |

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.
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.
