If a tape was used previously, the RSM tries to detect the registered application the tape is concerned

to. If the application is not found, the RSM will move the tape into the Unrecognized pool. If the

application is not found, but the RSM database has no information about the tape, it will be moved

into the Import pool. If the RSM database has the information, the tape moves into its own pool of

the application.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node provides the RSM to detect the tapes written by Acronis

True Image Echo, Acronis True Image 9.1 product families and by components of Acronis Backup &

Recovery 10. The storage node will locate all tapes written in “Acronis” format into the Acronis pool

at the Inventory (p. 148) operation.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components don’t use the Unrecognized pool. To utilize a tape from

this pool forcibly, move the tape to the Free pool using the Removable storage snap-in (Control panel

> Administrative tools > Computer management > Removable storage > Media pools).

If a tape has moved into the Free pool, it is considered as free and will be accessible to write by any application.

So the tape data will be lost.

If all the backups are deleted from a tape, it will not return to the Free pool. It remains in the Acronis

pool as a free tape to be reused. So if a storage node needs a new tape, it finds a free tape first in the

Acronis pool, then in the Free pool.

Thereinafter Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node deals only with the tapes belonging to the

Acronis pool.
