Media Database Backup

Control‑M/Tape provides several utilities to facilitate the backup and recovery process. Backups can be performed at any time using batch utilities. At most sites, backups are initiated by the New Day procedure.

Normally, the Media Database is backed up first. It updates the Trace file with the date and time that backup started and completed. The Trace file is backed up as soon as the Media Database backup completes successfully, Therefore, each Media Database backup has a corresponding Trace file backup. All removable media processing can continue during this process.
