3.8 Backing up to tape libraries and tape drives
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server supports tape libraries, autoloaders and SCSI
tape drives as storage devices.
Tape libraries, autoloaders and tape drives are accessible both remotely through the
Acronis Backup Server and locally when installed on the computer with Acronis True
Image Echo Enterprise Server local version. The following diagram illustrates ways of
access to tape for networks with (I) and without (II) backup server.
3.8.1 Backing up to tape libraries and autoloaders
A tape library is a high-capacity storage device consisting of one or more tape drives and
a loader that automatically selects and loads multiple tape cartridges using barcode
identification. Tape libraries with only one drive and loader are known as autoloaders.
Tape libraries are widely used as an efficient repository for long-term stored archival data.
Once the tape library is full, old data is progressively overwritten by new data. With tape
libraries support, Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server can store several backup
chains from different machines and users. For instructions on how to enable backup to a
tape library in the local network, see
3.8.3 Setting up backup to a tape or a tape library
in the local network
.
3.8.2 Backing up to tape drives
Backup and restore on a tape drive proceed in the same way as with other devices with
the following exceptions.
1. A full backup can be stored on an empty tape only. If the tape already contains data,
its contents will be overwritten on prompt. You have an option to disable prompts. See
details in
6.3.14 Additional settings
.
2. In cases where you want to keep more than one archive on the tape, for example, you
want to back up two disks separately, select
incremental
backup mode instead of a
full
backup when you create an initial backup for the second disk. In other situations,
incremental backup is used for appending changes to the previously created archive.
3. You do not have to provide filenames for backups.
You might experience short pauses that are required to rewind the tape.
