AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Using Your Tape Gateway
8. Close the
Robot Inventory
window.
9. In the
Media
node, expand the
Robots
node and choose
TLD(0)
to show all virtual tapes that are
available to your robot (medium changer).
Note
If you have previously connected other devices to the NetBackup application, you might
have multiple robots. Make sure that you select the right robot.
Now that you have connected your devices and made them available to your backup application, you are
ready to test your gateway. To test your gateway, you back up data onto the virtual tapes you created
and archive the tapes.
Backing Up Data to a Tape
You test the tape gateway setup by backing up data onto your virtual tapes.
Note
You should back up only a small amount of data for this Getting Started exercise, because there
are costs associated with storing, archiving, and retrieving data. For pricing information, see
on the AWS Storage Gateway detail page.
To create a volume pool
A
volume pool
is a collection of virtual tapes to use for a backup.
