====== Restricting Which Volume-ID's Can Be Moved To A Repository. ======

TapeTrack allows the restriction of what [[object:volume|Volumes]] can be moved to a Repository based on a pattern specified in the Repository properties.

===== Setting Volume-ID Restrictions =====

Open the required [[object:repository|Repository's]] properties and navigate to the ''Options'' tab.

Click in the field to the right of ''Allowable Volume-ID's'' and enter allowable [[object:volume|Volumes]] string pattern.

Restricting [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] patterns can be enforced using [[general:pattern_matching|TapeTrack string filters]].

[[general:pattern_matching|Character filters]] may be used alone or in combination to achieve the restricted [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] [[general:pattern_matching|pattern]] required.


==== Example Patterns ====

^ Volume-ID required                        ^ Filter Pattern  ^ Example Volume-ID  ^
| Only [[object:volume|Volumes]] ending in L5                 | *L5             | 100001L5           |
| Any [[object:volume|Volumes]] except those ending in L5     | !*L5            | 100002L6           |
| [[object:volume|Volumes]]  ending in L5 or starting with X-  | *(*L5%%|%%X-*)  | X-2E8CA12F         |

Any attempt to move a [[object:volume|Volume]] with a non compliant [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] will cause an error and the move will be aborted.
