7.4.2.4 Parameters for writing to tapes

The tape writing parameters (block size and cache size) allow you to fine-tune the software to

achieve the maximum performance. Both parameters are required for writing to tapes, but normally

you only need to adjust the block size. The optimal value depends on the tape device type and on the

data being backed up, such as the number of files and their size.

Note When the software reads from a tape, it uses the same block size that was used when writing to the tape.

If the tape device does not support this block size, the reading will fail.

The parameters are set on each machine that has a tape device attached. It can be a machine where

an agent or a storage node is installed. On a machine running Windows, the configuration is

performed in the registry; on a Linux machine, it is done in the configuration file

/etc/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery.config.

In Windows, create the respective registry keys and their DWORD values. In Linux, add the following

text at the end of the configuration file, right before the </registry> tag:

"value"

</value>

"value"

</value>

</key>
