Step 6. Add Optional Media Pool Settings
At the Options step of the wizard, you can enable parallel processing and encryption.
- Select the Enable parallel processing for tape jobs using this media pool check box if you want to process multiple tape jobs simultaneously. Set the maximum number of drives that the media pool can use in parallel.
If you want to use multiple drives simultaneously to process multiple source backup chains within the tape jobs, select the Process independent data sources simultaneously check box. For more information, see Tape Parallel Processing.
- To encrypt the content of files or backups archived to tapes in the media pool, select the Use encryption check box. In the Password field, select the encryption method you want to use — a password that will generate secret keys or an external KMS server that will generate KMS keys. For more information, see Tape Encryption.
If you have not created the password beforehand, click Add or use the Manage passwords link to specify a new password. For more information, see the Password Manager section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
If you do not use password loss protection, Veeam Backup & Replication will display a warning about it. For more information, see the Password Loss Protection section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
