Veeam move unprotected media to free pool

Veeam Backup & Replication does not automatically move tapes whose overwrite period has expired to the central “FreeMediaPool” from which all pools are used.

This can lead to free media being in a pool, while another cannot find free media.

The following short script finds all free media and moves them to the central FreePool.
