Abstract

Transferring data from a first data storage cartridge of a first data storage library to a second data storage library. The first library includes a first data storage drive, the second library includes a second data storage drive. A mounting of the first data storage cartridge into the first data storage drive is initiated. A network connection between the first and second data storage drives, with both data storage drives operating in a data transfer mode, is initiated. A mounting of a second data storage cartridge into the second data storage drive is initiated. A copying of the data content of the first data storage cartridge onto the second data storage cartridge via the network connection is initiated. A deletion of the data of the first data storage cartridge is initiated.
