Acronis Backup Server does not allow for creating manageable backup locations on tape
devices. This means that you cannot limit the number of backups or the period while the
archives are stored on tape devices. This functionality is supported only on the backup
server internal hard drives.
3.8.4 Restoring data from archives located on tape devices
Data recovery from archives located on tape devices is performed in the same way as
with other storage devices.
When recovering, you start the restore wizard, select the local tape device or tape device
under the backup server, select the archive and the backup to restore data from.
[Tape drive] You will be prompted to insert tapes required for restoring data from the
selected backup.
[Tape library or autoloader] The program finds the tapes and inserts them automatically
in the right order. A prompt comes up if the required tape is not found.

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.
