Creazione di pool di supporti

You can use automatic rotation schemes to control the media you use during backups. However, if you choose not to use the automatic features, the Media Pool Manager is an indispensable tool to efficiently schedule the maintenance and recycling of media. The Media Pool Manager helps you to organize your media into media pools, similar to those used in rotation schemes. Just as in rotation schemes, the media pools you create are collections of rewriteable storage media managed as a single unit.

Note: If you are using WORM media, media pool options are disabled. By definition, WORM media cannot be overwritten, so you cannot recycle it in a rotation scheme or a media pool.

For more information about media pools, see "Managing Devices and Media."

To create media pools

1. From Administration menu in the Navigation Bar on the Home Page, click Media Pool.

   The Media Pool Manager opens.

2. From the Media Pool Manager, click New.

   Verrà visualizzata la finestra di dialogo Configurazione pool di supporti.

   Nota: Arcserve Backup rileva e assegna automaticamente ai supporti quando vengono formattati e collocati in un pool di supporti specifico.

3. Enter a name for the media pool in the Pool Name field. Fill in the remaining fields appropriately.

   Se lo si desidera, è possibile modificare i valori predefiniti contenuti nei campi N. min. supporti in set di salvataggio, Periodo di conservazione, Periodo conservazione per sfoltimento, Numero di serie di base e Intervallo numeri di serie.

   Nota: The Next Serial Number field cannot be set.

4. Click OK when you are finished.

   The new media pool you created appears in the Media Pool Manager. You can now assign media to the Save Sets and Scratch Sets of this media pool.
