An import media job inserts media into the robotic library so that the Backup Exec database is updated.
Before you create an import media job, note the following:
-
If the media does not have a bar code, when you create the import job, you must select the option Auto-inventory after import is completed.
-
If your robotic library uses a media magazine, make sure no jobs are currently running and that all media are ejected from the drive and are back in the magazine slots before swapping the magazine.
You can select any number of slots to import.
The Backup Exec import media job fully supports robotic libraries with portals. When this job is run, the slots you selected are checked for media. If media is found, it is exported to the portals. After all the media has been exported, you are prompted to insert new media into the portal so it can be imported. This process continues until all of the requested media has been imported into the robotic library.
