5. In the Do you want to Use Global Deduplication Policy? dialog box, choose your Deduplication
preference, and then choose Next.
6. From Library for Primary Copy, choose your VTL library, and then choose Next.
7. Verify that your media agent settings are correct, and then choose Next.

11. To see your storage policy, choose Storage Policies.
You create a subclient policy and associate it with your storage policy. A subclient policy enables you
to configure similar file system clients from a central template, so that you don't have to set up many
similar file systems manually.
To create a subclient policy
1. In the CommCell browser, choose Client Computers, and then choose your client computer. Choose
File System, and then choose defaultBackupSet.
2. Right-click defaultBackupSet, choose All Tasks, and then choose New Subclient.
3. In the Subclient properties box, type a name in SubClient Name, and then choose OK.
4. Choose Browse, navigate to the files that you want to back up, choose Add, and then close the
dialog box.
5. In the Subclient property box, choose the Storage Device tab, choose a storage policy from Storage
policy, and then choose OK.
6. In the Backup Schedule window that appears, associate the new subclient with a backup schedule.
7. Choose Do Not Schedule for one time or on-demand backups, and then choose OK.
You should now see your subclient in the defaultBackupSet tab.
Backing Up Data to a Tape in Commvault
You create a backup job and write data to a virtual tape by using the same procedures you use with
physical tapes. For detailed information about how to back up data, see the Commvault documentation.
Archiving a Tape in Commvault
You start the archiving process by ejecting the tape. When you archive a tape, tape gateway moves the
tape from the tape library to offline storage. Before you eject and archive a tape, you might want to first
check the content on the tape.
To archive a tape
1. In the CommCell browser, choose Storage Resources, Libraries, and then choose Your library.
Choose Media By Location, and then choose Media In Library.
2. Open the context (right-click) menu for the tape you want to archive, choose All Tasks, choose
Export, and then choose OK.
The archiving process can take some time to complete. The initial status of the tape appears as
IN TRANSIT TO VTS. When archiving starts, the status changes to ARCHIVING. When archiving is
completed, the tape is no longer listed in the VTL.
In the Commvault software, verify that the tape is no longer in the storage slot.
