6.3.4.2 Tape pools

Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 uses tape pools that are logical groups of tapes. The software contains

the following predefined tape pools: Unrecognized tapes, Imported tapes, Free tapes, and Acronis.

Also, you can create your own custom pools.

Predefined pools

Unrecognized tapes

The pool contains tapes that were written by third-party applications. To write to such tapes, you

need to move (p. 184) them to the Free tapes pool explicitly. You cannot move tapes from this pool

to any other pool, except for the Free tapes pool.

Imported tapes

The pool contains tapes that were written by Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 in a tape device attached

to another storage node or agent. To write to such tapes, you need to move them to the Free tapes

pool explicitly. You cannot move tapes from this pool to any other pool, except for the Free tapes

pool.

Free tapes

The pool contains free (empty) tapes. You can manually move tapes to this pool from other pools.

When you move a tape to the Free tapes pool, the software marks it as empty. If the tape contains

backups, they are displayed as deleted. As the software overwrites the backups, it will remove the

data related to the backups from the database.

Acronis

The pool is used for backing up by default, when you do not want to create your own pools. Usually it

applies to one tape drive with a small number of tapes.

Custom pools

You need to create several pools if you want to separate backups of different data. For example, you

may want to create custom pools in order to separate:

 backups from different departments of your company

 backups from different machines

 backups of system volumes and users' data

 filled tapes from tapes being written to (p. 182).

Separating filled tapes

You may want to separate filled tapes from incomplete ones. Let's assume you want the tapes filled

over a month to be taken to an off-site location. To do this:

1. Create a custom tape pool (p. 183) (for example, Filled tapes).

2. Create another custom tape pool (for example, Current tapes). In the pool settings, select the

When tape is full, move to pool check box and select the Filled tapes pool in the list.

3. Create a vault (p. 189), and associate it with the Current tapes pool.

4. When creating a backup plan, choose the created vault as the backup destination.

5. Once a month, eject tapes stored in the Filled tapes pool and take them to an off-site storage.
