About the Picking List for Vault report

The Picking List for Vault report shows the volumes that are being requested back from the offsite vault. This report should be sent offsite to the vault vendor.

Volumes are listed on this report because Vault determined that they are in an offsite volume group and that all images have expired. When Vault identifies these volumes, it changes the Return Date field for the media and adds the media ID and date requested to this report.

Expired media appear on this report only once: either on the date the media expire or the next time the report is generated (if the report is not generated on the date a volume expires). If media appear on the report but are not recalled, they appear on the Lost Media report.

A slot at the offsite vault from which an expired volume is recalled is available for use one day after the volume has physically returned to the robot.

If you use a scratch pool, this report may include volumes from other profiles or vaults that expired and moved back into the scratch pool even if the report is for a specific Vault profile or session.
