See About creating jobs using policies and selection lists.

To add an export media template to a policy

  1. Set up a new policy.

    See Creating a new policy.

  2. Set up a backup template, which will be the media-producing template that is the source for the export job.

  3. On the New Policy dialog box, click New Template.

  4. On the Template Selection dialog box, select Export Media Template, and then click OK.

    The Export Media template displays only if the policy contains a backup template.

  5. Select the media-producing template to use as the source for the export job.

    For example, if you want to export media after the monthly full backup completes, select the template for monthly full backups as the source media set template.

  6. In the Properties pane, under Settings, click General. Type a name for this export media template.

  7. To move the media to a media vault after a successful export, in the Properties pane, under Settings, click Options, and select a media vault.

    See Scanning bar code labels to move media.

  8. If you want to set up notification for this job, in the Properties pane, under Settings, click Notification.

    See Sending a notification when a job completes.

    The export media job must run according to the template rule, so you do not need to set any schedule options for this job.
