inventory report template
A further important function of the media manager is the management of data in a
so-called off-site store. To this end, the media manager keeps two copies of all data to
be backed up. The first inventory report template copy is always stored on the backup server, so that data can be
quickly restored if it is required. However, in the event of a large-scale disaster (fire in the
data centre) the copies on the backup server could be destroyed. For such cases the media
manager keeps a second copy in an off-site store that can be several kilometres away.
The media manager supports the system administrator in moving the correct tapes back
and forwards between backup server and off-site store. It even supports tape reclamation
for tapes that are currently in the off-site store.
