A backup medium is assigned to every backup action. Backup media can be files, tapes, and pipes.
The path specifications and properties of the tape device, tapes, or files are grouped together in the media definition under a freely selectable, practical name. Under these names, the backup media can be re-used for all possible backup operations.
Note the operator authorizations required for the particular DBM commands.
