Exporting virtual tapes
To export a virtual tape to physical tape, you must create and run a stacked export job. If
Data Encryption is enabled and an encrypted virtual tape is selected for stacked export, the
tape is migrated as-is. That is, the data remains encrypted when it is exported to physical
tape. See
Enabling and Configuring Data Encryption on page 57 for more information about
this feature.
Note Partial procedures are provided below. Be sure to display the online help for full
details; click Help at the top of the Manage Virtual Tapes page.
