Move Volume (RBSMOVVOL) Command

Use the RBSMOVVOL command to move volumes to locations and containers. For example, you can move all the volumes of a backup set from one location or container to another. The RBSMOVVOL command can be run interactively or in batch.

Note: We do not recommend using the RBSMOVVOL command if you have automated move sets established.

Complete the command parameters with the information for your system. If you need additional information about the command parameters, press the Help key to display the command help.

You can enter either a location or container, but not both. Entering a location or container without a backup class allows you to specify a “From” field. This is particularly helpful if you are moving all the volumes from one location or container to another.

The following example moves all the volumes from one location to another. Enter the location name, then use function key 10 to display the From Location field:

The following example moves all the tapes in a Robot/SAVE backup set to a container:

Note: To change both the location and container, you must run the RBSMOVVOL twice.
