When working with locally attached tape drives, you do not need the RSM service

(opposing to the Backup Server, where you do need to use RSM for tape management).

Acronis True Image Echo Workstation local version will disable the RSM service on your

computer while backing up to a locally attached tape device.

To enable backup to a locally attached tape device with Acronis True Image Echo

Workstation local version:

1. Install Acronis True Image Echo Workstation local version.

2. Attach the tape device to the computer.

3. If the tape contains data, its contents will be overwritten on prompt. You have an

option to disable prompts, see

6.3.14 Additional settings

4. When creating a backup task, you will be able to select the tape device from the list of

destination devices. Filenames for backups are not needed when backing up to tape.

5. As soon as the tape is full, a dialog window with a request to insert a new tape will

appear.

You might experience short pauses that are required to rewind the tape. Low-quality or

old tape, as well as dirt on the magnetic head, might lead to pauses that can last up to

several minutes.

Limitations for a locally attached tape device

• A full backup can be stored on an empty tape only. If you use tape that already

contains data, its contents will be overwritten.

• Acronis True Image Agent doesn’t support a locally attached tape device. If you want

to back up to tape via Acronis True Image Agent, select the tape device attached to

the Backup Server as the backup location.

• A tape cannot store two and more archives: thus the following scenarios are not

possible:

• • Two full backups on one tape (only a full backup and its incremental

backups\differential backup)

• • Two archives of different backup type, for example the first archive is a

disk archive, and the second one is a file-level archive.

Server

Archives cataloguing

Acronis True Image Echo Workstation creates a dedicated database for archives and

tapes cataloguing (\Program files\Common Files\Acronis\Fomatik\tape_archives.fdb.)

Each tape of an RSM-managed device has its own GUID stored in the Windows registry.

Acronis True Image Echo Workstation creates its own ID for each tape, sets up the

correspondence between this ID and the RSM GUID and stores that information along

with information about the archive in its own database. Additionally, the program stores

metadata on tape, so that identification information can be obtained when mounting a

tape that is not registered in the database.

If the database is lost or not available (say, you detach the tape device and attach it to

another computer or reinstall Windows) the necessary information is derived from the

metadata saved on the tape and the database will be recreated on the new host using the
