Abstract
A media server (e.g., a virtual tape server) implements a method for a dynamic media format conversion of physical volumes stored within a media library (e.g., a tape library). The method involves a recall of volume data in a media format f as stored in one or more source physical volumes of a source media, and an automatic premigration of the recalled volume data in a media format f to one or more target physical volumes of a target media. The media format f is different in one or more aspects from the media format f.
