Hala, could you please be more specific, do you experience some issues or just making a feature request? Thanks.

If you want to move tapes from one media pool to the other in automatic fashion, then, the Veeam PS snap-in should be your way to go. Thanks.

Thank you for your prompt response. Would you please share the steps. Also, is Veeam PS-snap-in is a built-in feature, or do I need to download it. Please Advise. Thx, HH

It can be installed as a part of the standard Veeam B&R installation (though not selected by default). You can start with reviewing the technical reference and then ask particular questions in the corresponding subforum, if required.

The process should be as the following:

1) Get list of tape mediums you want to move, using Get-VBRTapeMedium commandlet.
2) Get a media pool you want to move mediums to, using Get-VBRTapeMediaPool commandlet.
3) Move given mediums to the chosen media pool, using Move-VBRTapeMedium commandlet.

Be aware that moved mediums will be marked as free. So, you will have to run inventory operation in order for VB&R to recognize them. Inventory operation can be also run in automatic fashion.

Thanks.
