Low-quality or old tape, as well as dirt on the magnetic head, might lead to pauses that

can last up to several minutes.

3.8.3 Setting up backup to a tape or a tape library in the local network

To enable backup to a tape or a tape library in the local network:

1. Install the tape or the tape library on a server accessible to all users

2. Install Acronis Backup Server on that server

3. Create local accounts on that server for all users who will back up their data to the

tape/tape library. Accounts must belong to the Backup Operators group and be the real

accounts with which users log in Windows.

4. At creating backup tasks (if logged in Windows with the above accounts), users of local

Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server version will be able to select the tape/tape

library from the list of destination devices. The backup server administrator can create

group or individual tasks for computers to back up their data to the tape/tape library

using Acronis True Image Management Console. Filenames for backups are not needed

when backing up to tape.

3.9 Viewing disk and partition information

You can change the way data is represented in all schemes you see in various wizards.

To the right are three icons: Arrange Icons by, Choose Details and i (Display the

properties of the selected item), the last duplicated in the context menu invoked by

right-clicking objects.

To sort messages by a particular column, click the header (another click will switch the

messages to the opposite order) or Arrange Icons by button and select the column.

To select columns to view, right-click the headers line or left-click the Choose Details

button. Then flag the columns you want to display.

If you click the i (Display the properties of the selected item) button, you will see

the selected partition or disk properties window.

This window contains two panels. The left panel contains the properties tree and the right

describes the selected property in detail. The disk information includes its physical

parameters (connection type, device type, size, etc.); partition information includes both

physical (sectors, location, etc.), and logical (file system, free space, assigned letter, etc.)

parameters.

You can change the width of a column by dragging its borders with the mouse.
