Veritas Backup 9.1 - No Tape Drive

Good Afternoon.  I have a server on the network that requires daily backups of directories and the system state.  I felt that Veritas was the best solution for this task, so after loading it I created some folders under the "Backup to Folder" task... Unfortuneatly, during my test run the backup failed due to Media Set 1 not being there... The only thing that I can think of is that this server does not have a tape drive.  Can Veritas work without a tape drive?  If anyone is familar with just how to create a task for backing up to a folder, that would be great..... Thanks in advance....
