Saving a full backup to a new tape
You can enable saving a full backup on a new tape even if the currently mounted tape is
not full. To do so, dismount the current tape and eject it, add a new tape and move the
tape to the Free pool using RSM. Incremental or differential backups cannot be
performed in this way because access to the previous backups is required.

3.8.3 Backing up to a tape device through Acronis Backup Server
To enable backup to a tape device in the local network:
1. Install Acronis Backup Server on a server accessible to all users.
2. Attach the tape device to that server.
3. Move tapes from the Unrecognized or Backup pool to the Free pool using the
Removable storage snap-in (Control panel -> Administrative tools -> Computer
management -> Removable storage -> Media pools.)
4. Create local accounts on that server for all users who will back up their data to the
autoloader. Accounts must belong to the AcronisBackupServerUsers group and be the real
accounts with which users log in Windows.
5. When creating backup tasks (if logged in Windows with the above accounts), users of
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local version will be able to select the tape
device from the list of Backup Server locatons.
The backup server administrator can create group or individual tasks for computers to
back up their data to the tape device using Acronis True Image Management Console.
Filenames for backups are not needed when backing up to tape.
Archives, created on tape devices through Acronis Backup Server, cannot be accessed by
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local and bootable versions and agents for
validation, data recovery and converting images to virtual disks.
When the tape is full, you must dismount it first before ejecting.
Sometimes Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server cannot recognize any Acronis Tape
Plugin backups on tapes, though the archive is mounted in the RSM Import Media pool.
The reason for this is when you are trying to restore\validate an archive spanned over
two or more tapes made by earlier versions of Acronis True Image Echo (builds up to
8163) via Acronis Backup Server of the latest version. Use the Tdbrepair.exe command-
line tool to add information about such tape archives to the Backup Server database. For

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.
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.
