Transferring an Existing Media Definition 

Use

You can transfer existing media definitions from the media definition file control.med (database version 6.2) to the new media definition file dbm.mmm (from database version 7.2.4.2).

The media definition from the old file is not transferred if there is an identical media name in the old and new media definition files.

As the old media definitions did not contain a backup type, you should set this using the command medium_put (Defining or Changing Backup Media) Otherwise you must specify this when starting the backup process.

Prerequisites
