To launch the procedure select the tape library vault in the Navigation pane of the console, click

Manage tapes and then click Start inventory on the Tape Management window.

When inventorying is completed a user has the list of tapes currently loaded into the library.

Perform the procedure every time you load new tapes into tape library slots.

Rescan

As stated above the storage node keeps information about tapes and their contents in a dedicated

database. The Rescan task reads information about the content of user-selected tapes and updates

the database.

The task can take a long-time so it is only initiated manually. You should select each slot with a tape

you want to rescan before the task launch.

Run the Rescan task:

 for tapes that are unknown for the storage node

 if the storage node database is lost or damaged

 for tapes whose content is out of date (for example, a tape content was modified through

another storage node or manually).

Bear in mind, a tape might keep some backups that were deleted before the tape rescanning. So

after the task is completed, all such backups will be recovered in the storage node database and

become accessible for data recovery.

At rescanning a tape label should be saved in the storage node database. If a slot, selected for the

procedure, contains a tape that still does not have a label, the Rescan task for the tape is paused to

perform the Labeling (p. 142) procedure.

Labeling

When a tape required for data recovery is not found, the Task Need Interaction window will ask the

user to bring the tape and insert it into a tape library slot. So, all the tape cartridges need a barcode

or other readable labels.

If a tape does not get a label, you should define it before the tape will be used.

If you need to apply a specific label for a tape (for example, “MyWork” label for a tape dedicated to

back up files from the folder C:\work) instead of a barcode label, use the Labeling procedure as well.

To launch the procedure, select the tape library vault in the Navigation pane of the console, and click

Manage tapes on the toolbar. Then the Tape Management window will show a list of the library

slots that contain tapes. For every tape belonging to the Free pool or to the Acronis pool, the slot

data field indicates the tape label. Labels are also displayed for tapes that are in the Imported pool

and contain backups written by Acronis (such might be the case when you bring a tape from another

tape library).

By default, an unused tape with a barcode gets a label that is equal to the barcode. If a barcode is

absent or corrupted, the label name will be created automatically. You can accept proposed labels or

provide your own label as a plain text.

Tapes from the Free or the Imported pool can be renamed on condition that the user account used

to run the storage node service (ASN User) has write permissions for these pools. These permissions

are not assigned to ASN User during installation, so you might need to add them manually.
