The Device Manager Removable Drive Support BrightStor ARCserve Backup supports SCSI removable devices allowing you to back up data, restore data, scan sessions, merge removable sessions, and manage removable media on your removable devices. The Backup Manager identifies and treats the removable media as tape media. Note: To access the most up-to-date list of certified devices, click the Technical Support link on the BrightStor ARCserve Backup home page. Using Removable Media Before you can back up to removable media, you must: ■ Enable your removable device. ■ Format your removable storage media. ■ Configure removable device groups. Enabling Removable Drives Before you can back up to your removable media, you must enable the drive so BrightStor ARCserve Backup can recognize it. Do this by clicking the Disk Configuration icon and configuring the removable drive by using the Administrative Tools. Formatting Removable Media After BrightStor ARCserve Backup recognizes your device, you must format your removable storage media as a BrightStor ARCserve Backup storage media. In the BrightStor ARCserve Backup graphical user interface, removable media is represented as if it is tape media. This is not an error. BrightStor ARCserve Backup treats removable media in the same manner as tape media. Configuring Removable Devices You configure removable device groups through the Device Management feature. Using this feature, you can easily, create or delete new removable device groups, rename removable device groups, and assign or remove individual devices. You cannot assign a removable drive into a group of media drives. You must create a new group for the removable devices. Managing Devices and Media 7-9
