BackBox Components
The BackBox is made up of the following components: the Virtual Tape Controller
(VTC) unit, the Data Store, the Domain Manager and the Event Extractor.
A graphical user interface to BackBox runs on the operator workstation.
The Domain Manager, Event Extractor and UI Client are common BackPak
components shared with BackLib, the ETI-NET tape library management.
BackBox virtual tapes and BackLib library tapes can be managed in the same
BackPak Domain. In such a consolidated configuration, BackBox tape drives and
BackLib tape drives appear in the same status page of the Client UI, and are
operated by the same BackPak processes in NonStop platform.

VTC Controllers are Windows-based servers provided by HP. These servers are
connected via Fibre Channel to a NonStop server. Several VTCs can be connected to
the same NonStop system, and several NonStop systems can be connected to the
same VTC.
