Virtual TapeServer 6.04.03.01 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Introduction | 1
Introduction
Virtual TapeServer (VTS) is a fully integrated virtual tape, hardware and software solution.
VTS allows host systems to read from and write to a local or SAN-attached file system. Data
is automatically migrated to a tape device based on policies or manually migrated to physical
tape for archival storage or disaster recovery, if long-term backup copies are required. The
integrated support for backup management application software provides a mechanism for
writing to physical tape drives and libraries. (If GFS is enabled in your environment, multiple
VTS servers can access a shared set of pools and virtual tapes stored on the same storage
array.)
