Enterprise Tape Library 3494

The tape volume assignments on the CA ARCserve Backup server define the logical library. The tape volumes configured for the Enterprise Option for IBM 3494 are not part of a physical library connected to the CA ARCserve Backup server, but are interpreted by CA ARCserve Backup as a local library. The logical library configurations have a mutually exclusive set of tape volumes or a shared set of tape volumes, depending on whether the CA ARCserve Backup server is in a SAN.

Note: In configurations where multiple backup servers share the Enterprise Tape Library 3494, ensure that tape drives assigned to CA ARCserve Backup server are not assigned to any other backup servers.
