Next question:
I've got the VTL set up as the default pool, and the LTO-3 library as
the Default Clone pool. I've got enough space in the VTL for about 2
weeks at the current run rate, but I only need 1 week for our plans as
we need to migrate to tape once a week for offsite storage.
Our browse and retention times are set to Quarter.
I was able to use nsrstage to migrate the savesets to the Clone
volumes fine, and it appears to have properly deleted the saveset
entries on the originals from the database. The savesets are still
listed on the volume as "recoverable".
You don't in fact need to use a clone pool to migrate to using nsrstage.
How will the virtual tapes get recycled? I presume I need to have auto
media management activated. Will it automatically re-use a virtual
tape when needed? Any other settings I need to use? They aren't marked
as recyclable (yet at least), and still retain their original
expiration dates.
You don't need to have AMM enabled. Read the manual and find out what
AMM does. AMM is ONLY concerned with labelling new tapes in your
library. Relabelling tapes that have already been made recyclable is
core NetWorker functionality that always happens unless you have set
some tapes to manual.
Do I need a script to mark all the volumes recyclable as needed?
No you don't. NetWorker always does this.
