Find Media in Vaults

To help you locate media in your vaults, MM Admin provides the Find Media in Vault feature. This feature is the fastest way to locate media in your vaults if you know the tape name or serial number of the tape volume you need. If you do not know this information, you can use the Database Manager to find the media.

To find a specific media in a vault

1. From the Administration menu in the Navigation Bar on the Home Page, click MM Admin.

   The Media Management Administrator window opens.

2. From the Media Management Administrator window, right-click the Find Media in Vault object and select Find from the pop-up menu.

   The Find Media in Vault dialog opens.

3. Select one of the following methods to find your media:
   • Find by Tape Name--Lets you enter the tape name, the random ID, and the sequence number to identify the tape you want Arcserve Backup to find.
   • Find by Serial Number--Lets you enter the serial number of the desired media.

     Arcserve Backup completes the Find by Serial Number task using case-sensitive values. For example, the serial number ABC123 is different from the serial number abc123.

4. Click Find.

   When the search is finished, the vault and slot information appears in the right pane of the Media Management Administrator window.
