Using the following Repositories, or locations, as an example of Volume movement.

Volumes are placed in the Library to be written to. When full, the Volume is placed in a move to either the onsite or offsite storage. When the Volumes expire, they are moved to the scratch rack to await re-use in the Library.

Following the life cycle of Volume 100100L5 from the Library.

The Volume, once written to is placed in a move in TapeTrack from the Library to the offsite vault by either:

• Manually using drag and drop in TapeMaster
• Sync process between TapeTrack and the Library

The Tape Librarian staff would then remove the Volume from the Library and using a barcode scanner and Lite, scan the Volume out into a transport case for delivery to the vault premises.

Scanning the Volume out has two main purposes:

• Records history records against that Volumes history including:
  • Time scanned out
  • User details including name and ID
  • Software interface used
  • Repository details
• Confirmation of the correct Volume/s being sent out as incorrect Volumes will flag as an error, as well as a notification of any Volumes not scanned out
