Examples

Example 1: Recatalog data on a tape

This example recatalogs the data on an imported tape.

The first command uses the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet to retrieve the name of the library on the server, and stores the result in the $DPMLib variable.

The second command uses the Get-Tape cmdlet to retrieve a list of the tapes in the library, and stores the result in the $Tape variable.

The third command uses the Start-DPMTapeRecatalog cmdlet to recatalog the data.

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