way as with other storage devices. The only difference is the additional Tape options (p. 109) that can
be set up during the backup policy/plan creation. These options enable you to specify how the
created backup policy/plan should use tapes from the tape library, however the options’ presets

label of the tape that is currently written.
Recovering from tape library
Data recovery from archives located on tape devices is performed in the same way as with other
storage devices.
storage devices.
When recovering, you start creating a recovery task, select the tape device vault, and select the
archive and the backup to recover data from. At task creation, the program uses the storage node
database instead of accessing tapes. However, selection of data to recover (e.g. some files or specific
volumes) requires reading of one or more tapes, so it might be durational.
