Dell PowerVault DL2000 - Manual (Page 11)

Media Migration
11 December 2008
The media in the backup-to-disk folder must be cataloged once the backup-to-disk folder has
been inventoried on the new PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance. Cataloging the backup-to
-disk folder allows Backup Exec to read and store the information contained in the folders which
includes:
• Media number/label/name (something to identify that media from all others)
• Date and time of the backup
• Type of backup
• What directories/files were backed up
Perform the following steps to catalog the imported virtual disks:
1. From the Devices tab, select the backup-to-disk folder that was imported.
2. Select all of the media on the right.
3. Right-click all of the media and select Catalog Media from the pop-up menu. Specify
the following (if necessary) on the Catalog Job Properties dialogue:
• Under Device, specify a password if the media is password protected
• Under General, specify a job name and priority
• Under Schedule, select Run Now to start the Inventory Operation
4. Continue to specify the settings for each media in the catalog operation.
Backup Exec will catalog the media and it will be available for use.
