Merge Media

To merge media using the Merge utility:

From the Arcserve Backup Home Page, start the Merge utility.
Specify which media you want to merge.
If the media you want to use is not currently in a storage device, you must type the information into the Group and Media fields. If you do not know the session number, you can check the Activity Log or Job Records or Media Records in the database. If they are not available, you can use the Media Assure & Scan utility to list the contents of the media, including all session numbers.
Do one of the following:
Note: The All Sessions option is enabled by default when the Merge utility starts.
- To merge all sessions on the media, check the All Sessions check box.
  Note: If you select to merge all sessions and the tape set spans to multiple sequences, the sequence number 1 tape has to be present for this operation to complete successfully.
- To merge a specific session, clear the check mark from the All Sessions check box, and then specify the session number in the Session # field.
- To merge a range of sessions, clear the check mark from the All Sessions check box, check the check box next to the pull-down list, and select By Range to Session #. Then, specify range end points in the Session # fields.
- To merge a specific session to the last session on the media, check the range check box and select the To Last Session option from the drop-down list.
Specify any options, filters, or both for the job.
Click the Start toolbar button to submit the job.
