You might need to do your exporting
outside of Vault. That’s what we do because we don’t want to vault
partially filled media.

I'm looking for ideas from other people who vault their tapes to Iron Mountain.
On regular occasions, we find that we need to prevent a tape (or several tapes)
from going out because of an ongoing restore request. However, if we just
pull the tape from going out, it shows up in the FTP report to IM and therefore
their exception report and sometimes triggers phone calls from them to inquire
why they didn't get the tapes they were supposed to get. We also have to
go through the process of importing the tape back in - I'd just rather Vault
didn't eject it in the first place. Has anybody developed any elegant
hooks into the Vault process to cleanly hold back tapes?
Thanks,
.../Ed
