node database has all the required information about the content of the moved tapes. So all
you need to do is to perform the inventory (p. 144) procedure for the managed vault on the
library where the tapes were placed to.
2.
If you move tapes to a tape library managed by another storage node, you should rescan (p.
144) each relocated tape to provide the storage node with information about backups
contained on the tape.
What if I need to use a tape from the tape library in the local tape device and vice versa?
Acronis agents create backups on tapes in a format that differs from the format used by the
storage node. It is the reason why it is impossible to interchange tapes between tape devices
attached to a storage node and attached to a managed machine: a tape written by a storage
node cannot be read by an agent in a locally attached tape device. However the storage node can
read tapes written by an agent. Please refer to the tape compatibility table (p. 49) to get
comprehensive information about the compatibility of tape formats in Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10.
What if I have to reinstall the storage node or attach the tape library to another machine?
Install a storage node on the machine the tape library is attached to, create a centralized vault on
the tape library, and then rescan each tape containing backups.
What if I have lost my storage node and need to recover data from a tape?
If you know which tape has the data to recover, and you have a tape device with vault managed
by a storage node, insert the tape cartridge into the device, go to the
Centralized vaults
view of
the console, select the vault, rescan the tape, select the archive and the backup to recover data
from, and create the recovery task.
If you don't know which tape has the data to recover, you have to rescan each tape until the data
is found. Generally all the steps you need to do are the same as mentioned above, except the
rescan has to be applied to a number of tapes instead one tape.
What if I need to recover data from an Echo tape?
Use the table from the Tape compatibility table (p. 49) section to find out which Acronis Backup
& Recovery 10 components can read data from your tape.

Personal vaults
A vault is called personal if it was created using direct connection of the console to a managed
machine. Personal vaults are specific for each managed machine. Personal vaults are visible to any
user that can log on to the system. A user's right to back up to a personal vault is defined by the
user's permission for the folder or device where the vault is located.
A personal vault can be organized on detachable or removable media. Acronis Secure Zone is
considered as a personal vault available to all users that can log on the system.
Personal vaults can be used by local backup plans or local tasks. Centralized backup plans cannot use
personal vaults except for Acronis Secure Zone.
Sharing a personal vault
Multiple machines can refer to the same physical location, say, to the same shared folder, but each
of the machines has its own shortcut in the
Vaults
tree. Users that back up to a shared folder can see
and manage each other's archives according to their access permissions for that folder. To ease
archive identification, the
Personal vault
view has the
Owner
column that displays the owner of each
archive. To find out more about the owner concept see Owners and credentials (p. 32).
