Selecting Backup Media

Backup displays a list of all available storage devices in Backup destination the Backup tab. If no external devices are detected, you can back up to disk. If you want to back up to media not managed by Removable Storage, make sure that the disk or tape is loaded in a stand-alone storage device.

Note

If you are backing up to media managed by Removable Storage, you must first start Removable Storage in the Services snap-in. To back up to new media, you must first make the media available in the media scratch pool. If you want to back up to an existing media pool, the media must be loaded in the library. For more information about using Removable Storage, see "Data Storage and Management" in this book.
