c. Decide whether you want to back up to the default Acronis pool (p. 203) or to create a new
pool (p. 204).
Details. Having several pools enables you to use a separate tape set for each machine or
each department of your company. By using multiple pools, you can prevent backups created
via different backup plans from mixing up on one tape.
d. If you chose the Acronis pool, or enabled the new pool to take tapes from the Free tapes
pool when required, skip this step.
Otherwise, move tapes from the Free tapes pool to the new pool.
Tip. To learn whether a pool can take tapes from the Free tapes pool, click the pool and then
click Details.
6. In the Navigation tree, click Storage nodes. Select the storage node to which your tape device is
attached, and then click Create vault. Proceed as described in the "Creating a managed
centralized vault" (p. 179) section. In the Tape pool list, select the pool you decided to use on
step 5c.
Creating a centralized vault is mandatory when the tape device is attached to the storage node.
Backing up
On the Actions menu, click Back up now or Create backup plan. Configure (p. 350) the backup
settings for one or more machines. When specifying the backup destination, select the created vault.
Results

The resulting backups will be located in the vault you created.
Tips for further usage of the tape library

You do not need to perform full inventorying each time you load a new tape. To save time, follow
the procedure described in the "Inventorying" (p. 208) section under "Combination of fast and
full inventorying".

You can create other vaults (p. 210) on the same tape library and select any of them as a
destination for backups.
