Retrospect 7.5 Advanced Tape Support - Retail Boxed

The Advanced Tape Support add-on improves backup times to tape libraries and autoloaders by utilizing multiple tape drives in parallel, including stand-alone drives, drives in libraries, or drives in autoloaders. The Advanced Tape Support add-on is licensed for use on one Retrospect-based backup server, and it supports any number of tape drives attached to that computer. This add-on is not required for the following tape support features, which are already built into the Retrospect product: advanced support for barcodes and cleaning tapes, sequential use of tape drives, and multiple simultaneous operations when backing up to hard drives.
