Create Vaults

When you create a vault, location information is automatically updated and integrated with the Location Maintenance feature in CA ARCserve Backup. If you select a vaulted tape through CA ARCserve Backup, vault location information appears. Location information is also updated in the Media Pool Manager. If you select a vaulted tape for restore, a message appears indicating that the tape is OFF_SITE.

To create vaults

1. From the CA ARCserve Backup Home page, open the Media Management Administrator window.
2. Right-click the Vault object and select Create from the pop-up menu.

   The Create Vault dialog opens.

3. Enter a name and description for the new vault.
4. Select the Use in Local option if this vault will not be moved to another location. If the tape volumes in this vault are to be maintained off site, do not select this option.
5. Click Add to save and add the vault to the Vault branch in the Media Management Administrator window.

   The vault is created.
