+===== Data Extraction From Networker =====
+The first step in Synchronizing your Networker Library with TapeTrack is to extract the Volume data from your Networker instance.
+Using the administrative tool mminfo, the Volume data needs to be extracted from the Networker save sets and exported into CSV file format.
