5. [Optional] Select tape libraries and stand-alone drives to be inventoried. By default, all the tape
libraries and stand-alone drives are selected.
6. [Optional] If you chose the Full inventorying method, you can select tape library slots and drives
to be inventoried. By default, all the slots and drives are selected.
Removing
The removal operation deletes the information about the backups stored on the selected tape and
about the tape itself from the database.
You can only remove an offline (ejected (p. 206)) tape.
To remove a tape:
1. In the Navigation tree, click Tape management. If connected to the management server, select
the storage node to which your tape device is attached.
2. Click the pool that contains the necessary tape, and then select the required tape.
3. Click Remove. The system prompts to confirm the operation.
4. Click OK to remove the tape.
What to do if I removed a tape by mistake?
Unlike an erased (p. 207) tape, the data from a removed tape is not physically deleted. Hence, you
can make backups stored on such tape available again. To do so:
1. Load the tape into your tape device.
2. Perform the fast inventorying (p. 208) to detect the tape.
During the inventorying, do not select the Move newly detected tapes from the 'Unrecognized tapes' or
'Imported tapes' pools to the 'Free tapes' pool check box.
3. Perform the rescanning (p. 207) to match the data stored on tapes with the database.
7.4.5 Vaults on tapes
Each tape-based vault is associated with one or several drives of a tape device and with a tape pool
(p. 203).
Why do I need several vaults?
Two of the most common scenarios that require you to create several vaults are as follows:

You want to back up the data of several machines so that backups from each machine are
located on a separate tape set.

You want to back up different data of the same machine onto separate tape sets. For example,
you want to back up the system volume weekly and the frequently changing data daily.
In either case, create a separate custom pool for each tape set and associate a separate vault with it.
Personal tape-based vaults
Before backing up a machine to a directly attached tape device, you can create a personal vault. If
you do not want to, the software will automatically create a personal vault associated with the
Acronis pool.
If you create more than one personal vault, tapes with backups will be placed in the respective pools
specified in the vaults' settings. However, each vault will show all the backups located in all of the
vaults.
