Just a thought - what about creating a media pool that isn't used by any backup 
policies and moving the media to that pool until you have the opportunity to 
flip the write/tab and import it?

All,

We've recently been hit by a number of legal actions requiring media to be 
frozen and I'm trying to refine my procedure.  There has always been a request 
that I save the catalog entries for the media that are being frozen.  After 
trying this, I've found that we simply don't have enough space on the images 
lun to do this.  What I've done instead is to output what images are on the 
media to the frozen media document so at least if data is required and the 
catalog is purged, we know which ones to scan / import first.  Does anyone have 
a better idea than this?  I've also considered making a special catalog backup 
(what a hassle to restore though) or archiving the images.

Further, I'm pretty good about requesting media back and if they are frozen 
returning them as indefinite retention / frozen.  However, I fear my co-workers 
may be less diligent with their restores.  (One in particular returned an LTO3 
media to me this week in a SDLT Media case.)  Is there some way short of a 
sharpie to safely mark / label these media as frozen?  I'm just looking for 
ideas.

Thanks,

-Jonathan
