Just one tip. No matter if you use the GUI of the bpduplicate command for the duplication, always change the primary copy with the duplication and not afterwards. Doing this you can filter easier what backups are duplicated and what backup are not yet.

Very simply you need to : a. start bringing your offsite tapes back and loading into the AIT library b. use bpduplicate to make copy of the original AIT-based image onto your LTO5 system c. use bpimage to set the new LTO-based copy as "primary" d. use bpexpdate to expire the old AIT-based copy e. repeat until all AIT-based images are migrated to LTO... f. optionally create any secondary/offsite copies that you require -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DiskJockey Sent: 04 October 2012 18:33 To: [email protected] Subject: [Veritas-bu] migrating data from AIT4-5 to LTO5!!?? any suggestions?? Environment: NBU 7.1 Windows - Vault - Quantum VTL/I6K We recently made a switch from Spectra AIT5 to Quantum LTO5 library. We have tapes offsite with 7+ years retention that we would like to migrate onto the newer media technology LTO5 Can someone give me some pointers as to how to approach this? Using 3rd party is not an option due to budget. High level steps? procedures? ideas? Things to look out for? how tos? Having one of those moments...any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated.
