General Description 1
Data backup is essential to protect irreplaceable information. Backing up
data to magnetic tape is an easy, cost-efficient method used by many
small and medium sized businesses. However, most enterprises have so
much data that a single backup tape is not enough; the information has to
be spread across numerous tapes. To avoid constantly changing tapes
manually, many tape backup systems include a SuperLoader.
Each SuperLoader is a robot that includes a tape drive and one or two
magazines for tape cartridges. The user’s application can automatically
load and unload tape cartridges as required for data backup or data
retrieval. SuperLoaders provide compact, high capacity, but low cost
method for simple, unattended data backup.
