In progress Migration of historical backups from a legacy storage system to
BackBox has started but is not completed. Tape applications access some tape
volumes of the group in the legacy system, others volumes in BackBox.
Being prepared Virtualizations are executed to copy the historical backups to
the BackBox storage, but all NonStop backups and restores are still executed in
the legacy storage system.
The entered state of Migration to BackBox enables or disables migration features
for this functionality: Volume Virtualization, Import of Volumes from Tape
Catalog, Auto-import of SCRATCH volumes.
See more about a migration in the Appendix C – Migration to the BackBox
product, especially Concurrent operation of legacy system and BackBox.
