Setting storage properties for a disk-based storage device

To set the storage properties:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the device.
3
Click Properties.
4
In the Storage Properties dialog box, type the Group Label.
5
Click OK.

Scanning a disk-based storage device

You can use the Scan method to query all backups stored on a disk-based storage device and import those backups that are not indexed in the given NetVault Backup Server’s database.

To import backups to the database, the NetVault Backup Server must have the same NetVault Backup Machine Name as the original server that performed the backups. The amount of time it takes to scan the backups depends on the number of backups that need to be imported and the size of the backup indexes.

You can scan indexes that are generated with the same or previous versions of NetVault Backup. You cannot scan indexes generated with a newer version of NetVault Backup on an earlier version of the server if the servers do not use the same index version. If an index version is not supported, the index is not imported and a message is generated in the logs.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: When a backup stored on a disk-based storage device (such as DR Series system, NetVault SmartDisk, or Data Domain system) is retired, that backup is deleted from the device. You cannot import the deleted backup by scanning the device.
To scan a disk-based storage device:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices. In the list of devices, locate and click the device.
Alternatively, in the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage. Click Explore Disk Storage, and in the repository table, select the device.
2
Click Scan.
3
In the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
 
* 
NOTE: If a backup stored on a DR Series system was performed using a non-standard block size, the scan process is unable to read the index for that backup from the device. To import indexes for such backups, you can configure an alternate index read block size in the mediamgr.cfg file. For more information, see Configuring an alternate index read block size for Quest DR Series systems.

Removing a disk-based storage device

You can use the following procedure to remove a disk-based storage device that is no longer required.

When you remove a device, the backups stored on the device are not deleted. You can add the device to the same or different NetVault Backup Server to use the backups. If you add the device to a different server, you must scan the device to use the backups stored on it.

To remove a disk-based storage device:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the device.
3
Click Remove. In the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
4
If NetVault Backup fails to remove the device, select the Force Removal check box in the confirmation dialog, and click OK.
 
* 
NOTE: You can use the Force Removal option to remove a device that is not in use. However, the device may still try to communicate with the NetVault Backup Server.
