Possible values for State:
All | Specifies to query volumes in all states. The default is All. |
Mountable | Specifies to query volumes currently in the MOUNTABLE state, which are volumes that contain valid data and are accessible for onsite processing. |
Not mountable | Specifies to query volumes currently in the NOTMOUNTABLE state, which are volumes that are onsite, contain valid data, and are not accessible for onsite processing. |
Courier | Specifies to query volumes currently in the COURIER state, which are volumes that are with the courier and are being moved to an offsite location. |
Vault | Specifies to query volumes currently in the VAULT state, which are volumes that are offsite, contain valid data, and are not accessible for onsite processing. |
Vault retrieve | Specifies to query volumes currently in the VAULTRETRIEVE state, which are volumes that do not contain valid data and are at the offsite vault. |
Courier retrieve | Specifies to query volumes currently in the COURIERRETRIEVE state, which are volumes that are with the courier and being moved back to the onsite location. |
Remote | Specifies to query volumes that are currently in the REMOTE state, which are volumes that contain valid data and are located at the offsite remote server. |
Enter the beginning date used to select volumes for query processing. Volumes are considered eligible if the Move Drmedia processing has transitioned the state of the volume on or after the specified date.

TODAY | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned into their current state today. |
TODAY -numdays or -numdays | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned
into their current state beginning with a date determined
by today minus a specific number of days. The maximum
value for the number of days is 9999. Example: To move volumes beginning with records transitioned into their current state a week ago, you can specify TODAY-7 or simply -7. |
Enter the ending date used to select volumes for query processing. Volumes are considered eligible if Move Drmedia processing has transitioned the state of the volume on or before the specified date.
Possible values for End Date:
MM/DD/ YYYY | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned
into their current state on or after a specific date,
using MM/DD/YYYY format. Example: 08/31/1998 |

NOW | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned into their current state beginning with the current time on the specified begin date. |
NOW +numhours: numminutes or +numhours: numminutes | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned into their current state beginning with a time determined by the current time plus a specific number of hours (and, optionally, minutes) on the specified date. |
NOW -numhours: numminutes or -numhours: numminutes | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned into their current state beginning with a time determined by the current time minus a specific number of hours (and, optionally, minutes) on the specified date. |
Enter the ending time used to select volumes for query processing. Volumes are considered eligible if Move Drmedia processing has transitioned the state of the volume on or before the specified time and date.
Possible values for End Time:
HH:MM:SS | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned
into their current state on or after a specific time on
the specified date, using HH:MM:SS format. The default is

NOW | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned into their current state ending with the current time on the specified begin date. |
NOW +numhours: numminutes or +numhours: numminutes | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned into their current state ending with a time determined by the current time plus a specific number of hours (and, optionally, minutes) on the specified date. |
NOW -numhours: numminutes or -numhours: numminutes | Specifies to query volumes that were transitioned into their current state ending with a time determined by the current time minus a specific number of hours (and, optionally, minutes) on the specified date. |
Enter the name of the copy storage pool that is used to limit the selection of volumes for processing.
Select whether database backup volumes are included in the selection of volumes for processing.
Yes | Include database backup volumes for processing. The default is Yes. |
