Rotating Tapes Offsite
DPM Administrator Console indicates when a tape in the library should be removed and stored in
your archive location by displaying a green icon in the Offsite Ready column. You can also view
all tapes ready to be stored offsite in the Tape Management Report. The Tape Management
Report lists tapes that will be due for offsite storage in the upcoming period of time selected for
the report.
When the data on a tape expires, return the tape to the tape library. Expired tapes not returned to
the tape library will be marked as "overdue" in the Tape Management Report. Overdue tapes
expired during an earlier reporting period. Expired tapes should be returned to the tape library for
reuse.
