Examples

Example 1: Recatalog data on a tape

The first command uses the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet to get the library for the server named Contoso-DPMServer. The command stores it in the $DpmLibrary variable.

The second command uses the Get-DPMTape cmdlet to get the tapes in the library, and then stores the result in the $DpmTape variable.

The third command recatalogs the data.

PS C:\> $DpmLibrary = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> $DpmTape = Get-DPMTape -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary
PS C:\> Start-DPMTapeRecatalog -Tape $DpmTape[2]
