Add a Standalone Tape Drive Vault
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are using the Buffalo Surveillance Server Vaults and media are
preconfigured and prepared automatically; there is no need to perform any Vault operations. The
information in this Vault Admin section is provided for information only.
Use the Buffalo Surveillance Server Add or Remove Vault Wizard to add a Buffalo
Surveillance Server Vault to a standalone tape drive. This section leads you through the Add or
Remove Vault Wizard in advanced user mode. Unless you are an advanced user and have
clearly defined reasons for changing the default values, it is best to use default values, leaving
advanced user mode unchecked. After adding a Vault, see the Vault Admin,
Prepare Media
section to add media to your Vault and information repository.
All devices running the Buffalo Surveillance Server must be time synchronized . If they are not, unexpected
results may occur.
If you are running the wizard in standard mode, some of the windows shown below will
not be included.
Before adding a standalone tape drive Vault in a Windows environment, disable the
device in the Windows Device Manager so Windows does not interfere with Buffalo
Surveillance Server's management of the device. For directions on how to disable a tape
drive, see the section titled
Disable a SCSI Devices on a Windows Computer .
If you want to change Vault settings, including security, logs, notifications, diagnostics, memory
allocation for devices, database optimization parameters, and licensing after you have installed a
Vault, see the section titled
