2761: Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Tape Support

Last update: 10-05-2011

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 supports tape libraries, autoloaders, SCSI and USB tape drives

Description

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 supports tape libraries, autoloaders, SCSI and USB tape drives as storage devices. A tape device can be locally attached to a managed machine (in this case, the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent writes and reads the tapes) or accessed through the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node. Storage Nodes ensure fully automatic operation of tape libraries and autoloaders.

Backup archives created using different ways of access to tape have different formats. A tape written by Storage Node can be read by Acronis Agent only by accessing corresponding Storage Node (i.e. via Centralized storage).

Linux-based and PE-based bootable media allow for backup and recovery using both local access and access through Storage Node. Backups created using the bootable media can be recovered with the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent running in the operating system.

More information

(!) Restore of files/folders from a disk/partition archive stored on tape cannot be performed.

(!) Resize during recovery is impossible if disk/partition archive is stored on tape.
