Managing virtual tapes
The following sections describe how to perform actions on virtual tapes. Some procedures are
documented fully in the online help.
Note If an unexpected power loss or shutdown occurs, data may not be written to virtual
tapes that were mounted. It is recommended that you rerun jobs for virtual tapes that
were mounted during the power loss or shutdown, to ensure that data is written to the
virtual tapes as expected.
