Storage Targets

A storage target can be one of the following:

• A cloud library or a disk library that you associate with one or more mount paths. A mount path is a set of partitioned disks or arrays that is associated with a file system. A mount path can be a local disk or networked attached storage on the disk library MediaAgent. This is where data is stored when it is backed up.

• A tape library attached to a MediaAgent.

The Storage Targets page lists the name, status, manufacturer, and model of the storage targets you add.
