Configuring vault rules for media sets

On the vault rule properties for media sets, you can add or change the following:

  • The media vault to which you want to send media that are associated with this media set.

  • The amount of time to wait between when the media is allocated and when it is sent to the vault.

  • The amount of time to wait between returning the media from the vault and when it was last written to.

Backup Exec does not update the vault automatically. You must use the Update vault using wizard task to print or view reports that contain details on which media are ready to be moved to and from the vault, and to update the media location. You can also schedule a job called Move Media to a Vault to export media from a device, and update the media location for any media that are moved to a vault.
