Buffalo Surveillance Server
When you use a wildcard in the Vault field, only media and storage pools associated with the
selected Vault are displayed in the Media Name and Storage Pool fields. For example, if you
enter j* in the Vault field, only Media and Storage Pools in Vaults beginning with j will appear
in the Media Name and Storage Pool fields. The functionality is similar for Media Name. For
example, if you enter Ni*, only storage pools beginning with Ni will be displayed in the Storage
Pool field.
See Advanced Wildcard Functionality for a complete list of and more complete
information about wildcards.
Source Fields
Vault
Vaults are the basic units of storage in your Information Repository.
Click the pull-down control arrow and, from the list that appears, select a Vault; or, select
<new entry> to add a new Vault name. When you select a Vault, the Buffalo Surveillance
Server will populate the Media Name pull-down menu with the media that it finds on the given
Vault.
If you enter a new name for a Vault, the Media Name and Storage Pool options will be
limited to <any> or <unnamed> and <new entry>.
Media Name
Media Name refers to the names of individual units of media in the Vaults of your Information
Repository.
Click the pull-down control arrow and, from the list that appears, select the media; or, select
<new entry> to add a new media name. The Buffalo Surveillance Server will then
automatically look for the Storage Pools that comprise the media. If the Buffalo Surveillance
Server cannot find storage pools that comprise the media that you have selected, the Storage
Pool field will display <any>.
Storage Pool
Storage Pools are groupings of media utilized for a particular purpose. A typical example of
storage pooling is the utilization of several units of media for a single policy. For example, if you
want to have the "Monday night backup" write to several units of media, you would use a
"Monday night backup" storage pool and assign to it every unit of media that you want to use
for that purpose. (See Prepare Media, Storage Pool for information about creating storage
pools using Vault Admin.)
Click the pull-down control arrow and, from the list that appears, select a storage pool; or,
select <new entry> to add a new storage pool name.
