4. Click Rescan.
5. Select the vault where the newly detected archives will be placed.
6. Select the Unrecognized tapes pool. This is the pool to which most of the tapes are sent as a
result of the fast inventorying. Rescanning the pool associated with the selected vault or the
Imported tapes pool is also possible.
7. Select the tapes to be rescanned. To select all the tapes of the pool, select the check box next to
the Tape name column header.
8. If necessary, select the Enable file recovery from disk backups stored on tapes check box.
Details. If the check box is selected, the software will create special supplementary files on a
hard disk of the machine where the tape device is attached. File recovery from disk backups is
possible as long as these supplementary files are intact. Be sure to select the check box if the
tapes contain single-pass backups (p. 441). Otherwise, you will not be able to recover the
application data from these backups.
9. If the tapes contain a password-protected archive, select the corresponding check box, and then
specify the password for the archive in the Password box. If you do not specify a password, or
the password is incorrect, the archive will not be detected. Please keep this in mind in case you
see no archives after the rescanning.
Tip. If the tapes contain several archives protected by various passwords, you need to repeat the
rescanning several times specifying each password in turn.
10. Click Start to start the rescanning.
Result. The selected tapes are moved to the pool associated with the selected vault. The backups
stored on the tapes can be found in this vault. A backup spread over several tapes will not appear in
the vault until all of these tapes are rescanned.
Inventorying
The inventorying operation detects tapes loaded into a tape device and assigns names to those that
have none. Perform the operation every time you load tapes into the tape device slots.
Inventorying methods
Acronis Backup provides the following two methods of inventorying.
Fast inventorying
Acronis Backup scans tapes for barcodes. Using barcodes, the software can quickly return a tape to
the pool where it was before.
Select this method to recognize tapes used by the same tape device attached to the same machine.
Other tapes will be sent to the Unrecognized tapes pool.
If your tape library contains no barcode reader, all tapes will be sent to the Unrecognized tapes pool.
To recognize your tapes, perform full inventorying or combine fast and full inventorying as described
later in this section.
Full inventorying
Acronis Backup reads tags written by Acronis software and analyzes other information about the
contents of the loaded tapes. Select this method to recognize empty tapes and tapes written by
Acronis software on any tape device and any machine.
The following table shows pools to which tapes are sent as a result of the full inventorying.
