To define your own label for a tape, select a related data field, type in a new label, click Eject tape,

write the same label on the tape cartridge (to make association with the label) and insert it back into

the same slot.

Once all the required tape labels are specified press Set labels to store labels in the storage node

database.

Tape support

These options are effective when the backup destination is a managed vault located on a tape

library.

Tape support options enable you to specify how the backup tasks will distribute backups among the

tapes.

Some combinations of tape options might degrade usage efficiency of both the whole tape library and each

tape. If you are not forced to modify these options by some specific needs, leave them unchanged.

An archive can occupy several tapes. In such cases a so-called tape set is used for keeping the data

backups.

Tape set is a logical group of one or more tapes which contain backups of the specific protected

data. A tape set can contain backups of other data as well.

Separate tape set is a tape set which contains only backups of the specific protected data. Other

backups cannot be written to a separate tape set.

(For the backup policy/plan to be created) Use a separate tape set

The preset is: Disabled.

If you leave this option unchanged, then the backups, belonging to the policy or plan being created,

might be written onto tapes containing backups written by different backup policies and comprising

of data from different machines. Similarly, backups from other policies might be written onto the

tapes containing this policy's backups. You will not have a problem with such tapes, as the program

manages all the tapes automatically.

When this option is enabled, the backups, belonging to the policy or plan being created, will be

located on a separate tape set. Other backups will not be written to this tape set.

If the console is connected to the management server

The Use a separate tape set option has more precise definitions. So for the backup policy to be

created you can use a separate tape set for all machines or for each single machine.

The A single tape set for all machines option is selected by default. Generally this option ensures

more efficient usage of tapes, than the A separate tape set for each single machine option.

However the second one can be useful, for example, when there are special requirements to

store the tapes with backups from a specific machine off-site.

When the Use a separate tape set option is enabled, there might be a case when the backup has to

be written onto a tape that is currently out of the tape library device. Define what to do in this case.

 Ask for user interaction - the backup task will enter the Need Interaction state and wait for the

tape, with the required label, to be loaded into the tape library device.

 Use a free tape - the backup will be written onto a free tape, so the operation will be paused

only if there is no free tape in the library.
