About tape volumes

A tape volume is a data storage tape or a cleaning tape. NetBackup assigns attributes to each volume and uses them to track and manage the volumes. Attributes include the media ID, robot host, robot type, robot number, and slot location.

Volume information is stored in the EMM database.

See About the Enterprise Media Manager (EMM) database.

NetBackup uses two volume types, as follows:

Robotic volumes

Volumes that are located in a robot.

Stand-alone volumes

Volumes that are in or are allocated for the drives that are not in a robot.

Catalog backup volumes are not a special type in NetBackup. They are the data storage volumes that you assign to the CatalogBackup volume pool. To add NetBackup catalog backups, use any of the add volume methods. Ensure that you assign them to the volume pool you use for catalog backups. After adding volumes, use the NetBackup Catalog Backup wizard to configure a catalog backup policy.

See About NetBackup catalogs.

WORM media can be used with NetBackup.

See About WORM media.
