[Optional] Select whether to protect the vault with encryption. Anything written to the vault
will be encrypted and anything read from it will be decrypted transparently by the storage
node, using a vault-specific encryption key stored on the storage node.
A vault located on a tape device cannot be protected with encryption.
Path (p. 185)
Specify where the vault will be created.
Place deduplication database along with backups (available only if the Deduplication is
enabled)
The deduplication database stores the hash values of all items stored in the
vault—except for those that cannot be deduplicated, such as encrypted files.
If the vault is created on the disk local to the storage node, the deduplication database is
placed to the same vault (the Place deduplication database along with backups check
box is selected).
If the vault is created on the network share, the Place deduplication database along
with backups check box is disabled, and you have to specify a path to the deduplication
database manually.
Placing the deduplication database along with backups may result in system performance
slowdown. To improve the system performance, we recommend you to create the
deduplication database and the managed vault on different disks.
Deduplication database (p. 185) (available only if the Deduplication is enabled)
Specify a folder on the storage node local disks or SAN to create the deduplication
database.
Drives
[Optional] If the vault is created on a tape device, specify the tape drive(s) to be used
when backing up to the vault. By default, all available drives will be used. Click the down
arrow and select or clear required check boxes.
Tape pool
[Optional] If the vault is created on a tape device, specify the pool whose tapes will be
used by the vault. By default, the Acronis pool is selected.
Catalog database
[Optional] Specify where the data catalog database will be placed.
Backward compatibility
To access this option, click Show backward compatibility.
[Optional] Select whether to make the vault backward compatible for working with Acronis
Backup & Recovery 10 agents.
What you need to know about backward compatible vaults:
- A vault located on a tape device cannot be backward compatible.
- Agents of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 and Acronis Backup can back up to a vault
regardless of its backward compatibility property.
- You cannot specify vault administrators and vault users for a backward compatible vault.
- When the console is connected to an Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent, the Data view
tab for a vault is not displayed.
- Backups created by Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 and Acronis Backup are cataloged
automatically. To include backups created by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 in the data
catalog, click the update the catalog now link on the Data view tab of the vault. Please be
aware that the cataloging procedure may be time and resource consuming.
