Tape Location takes a lot of space and might not fit in RAM when you rescan and recover under Linux bootable media and WinPE bootable media. For Linux, you have to mount another location to save the data on a disk or share. See Acronis Cyber Backup Advanced: Changing the TapeLocation Folder (KB 27445). For Windows PE, there is no workaround at the moment.
