Serial Numbers
The serial number of a media is one way to categorize media pools. You cannot change the serial number of media, but you can create a serial number for media by:
- Bar code--A number is read from a bar code label and this number becomes the serial number. A changer with a bar code reader is required for this method. This will override any previously defined media pool settings.
- Automatic--Arcserve Backup automatically assigns a serial number for the media based on the base and range of serial numbers set when the pool was created.
- Base--This is the base number, which Arcserve Backup will use when automatically assigning serial numbers. The first media formatted will have the same serial number as the base number. Each media’s serial number thereafter will be increased by one.
- Range--You can specify the range (up to 31 digits) from which the media pool serial numbers will be categorized.
