Overview of backup data management

After a backup occurs, there are several options to manage the save sets and volumes on backup storage.

The following backup data management features are available:

• View detailed status information about the save sets and volumes.
• Change the mode of a volume, for example, from Appendable to Read-only.
• Change the recycle policy for a volume to achieve greater control over the recycling of the volume.
• Relabel a library volume after all the save sets for the volume expire.
• Mark a volume as full for offsite storage.
• Remove a volume from the media database and online indexes, for example, if the volume is physically damaged.
• Change the status of a save set to Normal or Suspect.
• Clone save sets or volumes to create a copy of the backup data.
• Stage save sets to move data from one type of media to another.
• Archive data from a client, which copies the data to NetWorker storage and then removes the data from the client.
• Remove expired save sets so that you can recycle volumes and reclaim backup storage.
