Store vaulting tasks copy selected archives to 'vaults' for longer-term storage. Vaults can be in the cloud or on tape, and they are created automatically when the store vaulting task is created.


Prior to creating a Store Vaulting Task vaulting needs to be configured. See Configure Vaulting.


If you haven't already done so, you can set up a cloud account for vaulting to cloud and you can add tape volume sets during the creation of a Store Vaulting Task.

Creating a Store Vaulting Task

To create a Store Vaulting Task, select the store to vault and choose its Create Store Task action. On the Create Store Task screen choose "Create Store Vaulting Task" to begin the Create Store Vaulting Task wizard. Select either Cloud Account or Tape Device. If you are vaulting to cloud, you can sign up for a cloud account and add it to the Archive Manager system from here. If vaulting to tape, you can add a tape device here.


Note: If you know there is a tape library attached to the system but it is not showing up, check the device to make sure there is not a tape loaded into the drive.


Once you have chosen a cloud account or tape device for your vault, choose to vault all archives from the store or select individual archives to vault.


On the Configure Restore Points to Copy screen choose to copy all restore points, a range of restore points, or only the most recent restore point.


On the Copy Task Name screen, choose a name for the task and a name for the vault, then click Next to continue to the Schedule Copy Task screen.


You can schedule this task to run automatically or click Next to accept the No Schedule default. The task runs as the currently-logged-on user unless you change the Run as account information on the Task tab of the task scheduler.


Review the store copy task settings shown on the Completing the Create Store Vaulting Task wizard screen. If you need to make changes, navigate back via the Back button. When you are satisfied with the settings, click the Finish button. If you have not entered account information on the User Account tab of Archive Manager Properties, you will be prompted for the password of the account specified to run the plan. After you enter the password, the task is created, the Create Store Vaulting Task wizard closes, and the new task appears in the store tasks of the store where the task was created. The new vault will appear either in the All Cloud Vaults folder or the All Tape Vaults folder, depending on whether the vaulting task is for cloud or tape.
