About exporting expired media from a robotic library

The export expired media job lets you automate media handling in robotic libraries. This job removes the media that cannot be written to. You can then add scratch media to the robotic library to prepare for the next backup window.

After you export the expired media from the robotic library, the expired media appears in the offline media location. If the media is in a media set that has an applicable vault media rule, then the media appears in the vault location.

You can export cleaning media with the export expired media job. You can include all cleaning media, or all cleaning media that has been used more than a specified number of times.

You can choose to be reminded to import new media after an export expired media job completes successfully.
