When configuring vault, remember some of these points which can make your management easier:
Structure:
- Robot# (make sure it works)
- Vault Name
- Profile(s)
Determine what steps you want vault to do: Duplication, Catalog Backup, Eject (and Report)
All the above operations can be skipped based on your requirement, but each profile should at least "do something".
Make sure your volume pools and volume groups are selected properly as well.
Configure vault policy after the configuration of profiles, if you want vault to be run by schedule.
Determine whether to use immediate or deferred "eject and report", this will need some thinking of how often you want to run vault policy, and how often you eject tapes out of library and move them offsite. Decide whether your offsite tapes are shipped in container or by "batch of tapes" to see if you need "container" or "slot" type of eject.
All the configuration details can be found in vault admin guide.
