Backup on tape not possible

Thread needs solution

Hello,
I'm testing Acronis Backup and Recovery 11 and I have something that I don't understand.
I'm not able to backup on tape.
I have an HP MSL2024 tape library and I can see all tape when I go to "Manage tape" on Acronis.
But when I create a new backup job, I don't have the choice to select "tape".
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

If you are connected to the managed machine, it should be there. If not, let's look at the screenshot. If you are connected to the management server (... connected to AMS [machinename] in the title) and creating a centralized backup plan, you indeed can't see it there. You need to setup a Storage Node, create a managed vault on it using tape device as location (under 'path' link) and then point to this centralized vault when creating the plan.
