On accepting the print dialog, you get printouts detailing the destination locations for all of the media you have verified for this job (for example, the destination vault name and vault slot for each piece of medium). If for any reason the destination print out fails (for example, the printer runs out of paper), you can reprint this destination information by clicking History on the job list. For vaulting jobs sending media to an offsite vendor that has an electronic status link (for example, if the offsite vendor is another Media Operations Server or it is an offsite vendor with the electronic status reporting enabled), then, when you mark the job as complete, the job will remain visible on the job list, because it is waiting for the job to complete at the offsite vendor. You can still view the vaulting job, but you cannot make any changes to the job. The vaulting job is automatically closed when notification is received from the offsite vendor that the job is completed; however, you can click Mark as Complete at Destination on the Premount Job - Confirmation screen if you want to manually close the job. For offsite vaulting jobs, click the Optional tab to add media to the job from the data center or holding bin that are within their "move by" vaulting period as defined in the vaulting policies. The qualified media are listed on the Media Vaulting Confirmation - Optional screen. The process of confirming the optional media is the same as required media from the main screen. For remote account media, the media scanned are vaulted in the order scanned in the appropriate vaults. You have the option to vault tapes scanned from the beginning or since the last vaulting (vault sub lists as you go) without marking as complete. This allows you to hand the scanned media to another operator to place into the vault without having to complete the entire job first.
