Monitoring a retired storage location
You can configure the Retire Storage Monitor to continuously check for retired storage locations and automatically trigger the movement of data from a retired storage location to other storage locations.
Backup set data and client libraries are moved to storage locations with the same storage group configured for the DS-Client.
Data in account libraries is moved to the storage group configured for the account.
Public libraries are moved to the default storage group.
To monitor retiring storage locations:
1. On the Setup menu, point to Storage, and then click Retire Storage Monitor.
2. If the DS-System is not configured to continuously monitor retired storage locations, click Start.
3. In the Processes to start box, enter the number of simultaneous retirement processes you want to start, and then click OK.
NOTE:  If the process is interrupted because an activity lock exists on a backup that needs to be moved, the last time processed will appear in the Status column. The DS-System will retry the process after 5 minutes.
4. To start the process again immediately, click Stop, and then click Start.
5. To update the list, click Refresh. The Remaining box shows how many retirement requests are pending. The process is finished when 0 is displayed.
6. Click Close.
To reactivate a retired storage location, open the Edit Storage Location dialog box. For more information, see “Configuring an extensible storage location”.
Once a storage location has been retired, you can delete it from the Extensible Storage Locations list. For more information, see “Deleting an extensible storage location”.
