Scan Jobs for Cloud Storage

The process of running a Scan job for cloud storage is the same as a regular Scan job. If desired, click the Media Assure button to access Media Assure options, then click the Enable Media Assure option to select it.

The Media Assure option works with all types of media. With cloud storage, Media Assure must randomly sample large quantities of sessions that meet your criteria to help ensure that the data can be recovered. In addition, cloud storage access speeds can be slow. As a result, scan jobs associated with cloud storage may require additional time to complete.

You can scan specific sessions or the entire cloud storage, as well as set filter options. You can specify one node or multiple nodes, separating names with commas in the field provided. You cannot specify * groups for cloud storage Media Assure scan jobs, but you can specify a * tape in a specific group, or you can select a specific tape. The job scans the sessions that satisfy your selection criteria and repeats periodically until deleted.

Note: Media Assure supports scanning only one group and is suspended by other jobs targeting the same media. If suspended, an error is produced, "E3708 Unable to reserve group <group name> in <minutes> minutes."
