Special Tape Volume Movement

Special circumstances may arise where you need to move a particular tape volume. If this situation occurs, use one of the following options--Temporary Check In, Manual Check In, and Manual Check In and Retire. You also have the option to permanently vault a volume so that it does not return to Tape Service.

• Use the Temporary Check In option to check a tape volume back into Tape Service on a temporary basis, and return it to the vault when finished.
• Use the Manual Check In option to check a tape volume back into Tape Service before the time it is scheduled to be checked in. When you manually check a tape volume back into Tape Service, it does not return to the vault.
• Use the Manual Check In and Retire option to check a tape volume back into Tape Service before the time it is scheduled to be checked in and retire it so it is no longer used.
