o on the hard drives local to the storage node

o on a network share

o on a Storage Area Network (SAN)

o on a Network Attached Storage (NAS)

o on a tape library locally attached to the storage node.

To create a new folder for the vault in the selected location, click

Create folder.

2. Click OK.

A vault can be created in an empty folder only.

We do not recommend creating a deduplicating managed vault on a FAT32 volume. The reason is that such

vault stores all deduplicated items in two potentially large files. Because the maximum file size in the FAT file

systems is limited to 4 GB, the storage node may stop working when this limit is reached.

The folder permissions must allow the user account under which the storage node's service is running (by

default, ASN User) to write to the folder. When assigning permissions, specify the user account explicitly (not

just Everyone).

Vault database path

To specify the path where the vault's database will be created

1. In the Local folders of the storage node, select the desired folder or enter the full path to the

folder in the Path field.

To create a new folder for the database, click

Create folder.

2. Click OK.

When choosing a folder for the vault's database, follow these considerations:

• The folder size may become large—one estimate is 200 GB per 8 TB of used space, or about 2.5

percent.

• The folder permissions must allow the user account under which the storage node's service is

running (by default, ASN User) to write to the folder. When assigning permissions, specify the

user account explicitly (not just Everyone).

Vault encryption

If you protect a vault with encryption, anything written to the vault will be encrypted and anything

read from it will be decrypted transparently by the storage node, using a vault-specific encryption key

stored on the node. In case the storage medium is stolen or accessed by an unauthorized person, the

malefactor will not be able to decrypt the vault contents without access to the storage node.

This encryption has nothing to do with the archive encryption specified by the backup plan and

performed by an agent. If the archive is already encrypted, the storage node-side encryption is

applied over the encryption performed by the agent.

To protect the vault with encryption

1. Select the Encrypt check box.

2. In the Enter the password field, type a password.

3. In the Confirm the password field, re-type the password.

4. Select one of the following:

1 2 ... 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 ... 403 404
