Drivers and Backup Software
Drivers
Check your operating system documentation to see whether a driver for DDS
drives is provided. If no operating system driver is available, you can use
various software applications to connect DDS drives.
Even operating systems which do support DDS drives directly only provide a
very basic level of support, so it is still a good idea to use software
applications to provide friendly user interfaces and to make full use of DDS
features.
UNIX Applications
You can write scripts to control DDS drives in UNIX using standard backup
utilities such as
cpio
and
tar
. To achieve more sophisticated control of the
drives, and to exploit the full range of DDS features, it is worth considering
software applications specifically designed for the task.
Application Software Availability
Most backup software companies provide applications for HP DDS products.
Contact your software supplier for details. Alternatively, contact your HP
supplier, who can provide you with details of a wide range of compatible
software.
For details of software for autoloaders, please contact your support center.
