Fill the library slots with tape cartridges. If a tape does not get a barcode or its barcode is corrupted,
you can define the tape label for identification purposes later.
You should have Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server and Acronis Backup & Recovery
10 Management Console installed on local or remote machines, as well as Acronis Backup & Recovery
10 Storage Node, installed on the machine with the tape library device, and registered in the
management server.
Tape library as a managed vault
To enable data protection operations using a tape library you have to create a managed vault on the
tape library. You can create a vault from the Centralized vaults view of the console. See the Creating
a managed centralized vault (p. 143) section for more information.
But the simplest way is to create a vault from the Storage Nodes view. In addition to that select the
storage node, the tape library is attached to, and then click Create vault. The Create centralized vault
page will be displayed with the pre-selected parameters. All you need to do is to specify the vault
Name before you click OK.
Once the vault is created, it is accessible from the Centralized vaults view of the console. Then the
tape library can be used for backing up.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 allows creating only one vault per tape device.
If all cartridges in a tape library have barcodes, and the RSM Free pool contains enough tapes for a
chosen backup scheme, the library is ready to fully work automatically.
You can start working with the vault even though all the tape library slots are empty. If there are no
available tapes in the tape library slots during the backup operation, the Tasks Need Interaction
window asks you to load a tape.
If the tape barcode cannot be read, another Tasks Need Interaction window asks you to label a tape.
Actions on a tape library vault
If a tape library vault is selected on the Navigation pane of the console, the Centralized vaults page
toolbar will contain the following two actions that are used for tape libraries only:
• Manage tapes displays the Tape Management window allowing you to refresh information on
the library slots, inventory tapes in the slots, and define labels for the tapes. If you have a new
label assigned to the tape, the action enables you to eject the tape temporarily to make the same
label outside the cartridge.
• Rescan tapes displays the Tape Rescanning window, which is useful for selecting slots and
launching the Rescan (p. 153) procedure to read some special information on the content of the
specified tapes.
Also the Edit, Delete, Validate, and Refresh functions are allowed on a tape library vault.
It should be noted, these functions have some specific features for a tape library. So the Edit
operation enables you to substitute a tape library device without the Rescan operation. The Delete
operation clears all the information on the selected tape library vault from the storage node
database, i.e. the operation deletes the content data of all the tapes, when ever the data is used by
the storage node on the tape library device.
