hello ​@gogi100 

Are you asking about long-term backup?
I’ve checked, and your tape storage is supported.


It’s simple once you connect the tape storage to the MA, just follow the article below:

if you need more info feel free to ask

If your tape media doesn’t have a barcode reader, you can configure it as a Blind Library. In this setup, the system initializes the tapes with an On-Media Label (OML), which is a unique ID assigned when the tapes are first detected.

in my commcell browser application i added my tapedrive in storage resources, libraries and i have a tape library FUJITSU ETERNUS LT S2 6. In the storage pool exists FUJITSU ETERNUS LT S2 6. In slots i have 8 tapes. what is the next step? I want the backups made in the two libraries QNAP and RezervnaKopija to be archived on my tapes. Do I need a policy? also, my server where the eternus lt20 s2 is connected via sas has two network adapters and media agent, one is in the network 192.168.99.0/24 where commvault is located, and the other is in the network where qnap is 192.168.170.0/24 where backups are made
