Protected Tapes can be set to free via Powershell

Post by futureweb »

Hi,

according to this site, it should be prohibited.
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95

But using Powershell doesn't check, if the tape is protected and just moves it to Media Pool Free using

Code: Select all

Move-VBRTapeMedium -Medium $tape -MediaPool "Free"
We modified our script, that it checkes the status

Code: Select all

ProtectedBySoftware
, so it won't move such tapes,
but thought I mentioned it, as I believe even in powershell an error should happen if you do something you shouldn't with a protected tape.
Probably I am wrong and it's by design ;)

Thanks Patrick
