Associating Storage Servers with Tape Servers

When multiple Tape Servers are installed, it is necessary to decide which backup requests should be processed on which Tape Servers. You can decide on a Tape Server for each Storage Server. This function thus manages the association between the Storage Servers that issue requests and Tape Servers that process the requests.

Policy management

This function configures the storage pool and history management.

Storage configuration management

This function manages the configuration of volumes to be backed up and backup destination volumes.

AdvancedCopy Manager's Tape Backup function calls the volumes to be backed up "transaction volumes" and the backup destination volumes "backup volumes".
