How to Configure Arcserve Backup to Perform Tape Staging Backups

Before you can back up data using tape staging, you must perform the following tasks:

Create the staging devices.
If you plan to use a virtual library, open the Device Manager to confirm the library is properly configured. Arcserve Backup automatically configures libraries when you stop and restart the Tape Engine. If a library is not properly configured, you can run Device Configuration to manually set up libraries and virtual libraries for staging operations.

Note: For more information about using Device Configuration to set up libraries and virtual libraries, see Tape Library Configuration.
Specify device groups as staging groups.
Configure staging policies.
Note: To perform backup operations using staging, you must define the migration policies that Arcserve Backup will use to manage data stored on staging devices. For more information, see Back Up Data Using Tape Staging.
