How to Import Tapes
An imported tape contains content that was created by another DPM server. When you add an
imported tape to the tape library, you must recatalog the tape to identify the contents of the tape.
During the recatalog operation, DPM reads from the tape and adds information about the data
that it contains to the database. After recatalog completes, you can recover data from the tape by
selecting a recovery point from the data on the tape.
To import tapes
1. In DPM Administrator Console, click Management on the navigation bar.
2. Click the Libraries tab, and then select the tape to import.
3. In the Actions pane, click Recatalog imported tape.
How to View Tape Contents
If you find a tape that you cannot identify and are uncertain what to do with it, view the contents.
When viewing the contents, you can copy the data that is on the tape to disk by clicking Copy in
the tape contents dialog box. Using the Copy option is useful when you cannot use DPM to
recover the data from the tape, such as when data spanned two tapes and only one tape can now
be located.
To view tape contents
1. In DPM Administrator Console, click Management on the navigation bar.
2. Click the Libraries tab, and then select the tape to view.
3. In the Actions pane, click View tape contents.
To view the tapes associated with a protection group
1. In DPM Administrator Console, click Protection on the navigation bar.
