Working with Media Pools

All tape media are divided into media pools — logical groups of tapes. There are two types of media pools in Veeam Backup Free Edition: predefined media pools and custom media pools.

Predefined media pools are Free, Unrecognized, Imported and Retired service pools created by Veeam Backup Free Edition. They cannot be modified or removed.

Custom media pools serve as targets for files to tape jobs. They provide tapes for writing new data and organize storing of the archived data according to the rules configured for them.

To be able to configure files to tape jobs, you need to first create custom media pools.
