VSCMD_
CreateArchiv
eMediaClass
VSCMD_CreateArchiveMediaClass creates an archive
media class association. An archive media class association is
the association of a MediaClass group with a defined archive.
A MediaClass group establishes common characteristics for the
media it contains; no inherent restrictions are placed on where
those media can reside within an archive.
Archive media class associations provide the ability to:
• Restrict which archives can contain specific classes/types of
media.
• Constrain the number of specific media classes/types that
can be associated with any given archive.
• Preclude the erroneous assignment of media into an archive
that is incompatible with that media type.
• Ensure an archive has a desired mix of classes of media.
• If needed, preclude media of a known data format from
being assigned into an archive that does not have access to a
drive compatible with that media type.
