Configuring vault rules for media sets

On the vault rule properties for media sets, you can add or change the following:

Backup Exec does not update the vault automatically. You must use the Update vault using wizard task to print or view reports that contain details on which media are ready to be moved to and from the vault, and to update the media location. You can also schedule a job called Move Media to a Vault to export media from a device, and update the media location for any media that are moved to a vault.

To configure vault rules for media sets

  1. On the navigation bar, click Media.

  2. In the Media selection pane, under Media Sets, select a media set.

  3. Under General Tasks on the task pane, click Properties.

  4. Select the appropriate options as follows, and then click OK:

    Select the media vault to use with this media set:

    Select a media vault. This media vault will be used to store the media that are associated with this media set and that meet the move and return time periods.

    Before Backup Exec can update the media location, even if the dates to move to or return from the vault are overdue, you must run the task Update vault using wizard.

    See Using the Vault Wizard to move media.

    This wizard can print reports that detail which media are ready to move to and return from the vault, and can update the location of the media if you choose to move them. However, you must physically collect the media, and move the media to and from the vault.

    Move media to this vault x after it is allocated (first written to or overwritten).

    Specify a time period after this media is first written to or used in an overwrite job when it will be reported as ready to be moved to this vault.

    Return media from this vault x after it is last written to.

    Specify a time period after this media is last written to when it will be reported as ready to be returned from this vault.
