catalog, click the update the catalog now link on the Data view tab of the vault. Please be
aware that the cataloging procedure may be time and resource consuming.

only if the backward compatibility is turned on and deduplication is enabled.

User accounts

Vault administrators (p. 182)

Add groups or user accounts that will have administrator rights on this vault. Vault
administrators can view and manage all the archives stored in the vault. Acronis Centralized
Admins and members of the Administrators group on the storage node are considered as
vault administrators by default.

Vault users (p. 183)

Add groups or user accounts that will have user rights on this vault. Vault users can view and
manage only their own archives in the vault. By default, the Everyone group of the storage
node is added to the vault users.

After you have performed all the required steps, click OK to commit creating the managed vault.

Vault path

To specify the path where the managed vault will be created

1. Enter the full path to the folder in the Path field or select the desired folder in the folders tree.

Managed vaults can be organized:

On the hard drives local to the storage node.

On a network share.

On a Storage Area Network (SAN).

On a Network Attached Storage (NAS).

On a tape library locally attached to the storage node.

To create a new folder for the vault in the selected location, click

Create folder.

2. Click OK.

A vault can be created in an empty folder only.

We do not recommend creating a deduplicating managed vault on a FAT32 volume. The reason is that such
vault stores all deduplicated items in two potentially large files. Because the maximum file size in the FAT file
systems is limited to 4 GB, the storage node may stop working when this limit is reached.

Deduplication database path

To specify the path where the deduplication database will be created

1. In the Local folders of the storage node, select the desired folder or enter the full path to the

folder in the Path field.

To create a new folder for the database, click

Create folder.

We strongly advise that you follow the recommendations given in the "Selecting a disk for the
deduplication database" section of "Deduplication best practices" (p. 229).

2. Click OK.
