Forced duplication
When any of the last three duplication prerequisites is not met and normal duplication fails, you can still
duplicate to the target medium if you use forced duplication functionality. You can perform a forced
medium duplication using the following command:
CAUTION: Since forced duplication overwrites any data that is stored on the target medium, data loss
may occur on the target medium.

Reorganizing media
In FSE, data stored on an HSM file system is automatically and periodically migrated to FSE media. This
applies not only to every new file created on the HSM file system, but also to every existing file whose
attributes or contents is modified. Each modification of the file subsequently causes it to be migrated to
media as a new file generation.
