NovaNET Plug-in - Virtual Tape

Virtual Tape combines the performance and affordability of disk based backups and restores with the benefits of tape backup management and the power of virtualized tape libraries and autoloaders. Increased scalable performance allows you to significantly decrease the "backup window" and complete your critical backups on time. For tape backup and long term removable off-site storage, your disk images can be easily migrated to tape, utilizing the built-in data migration functionality and working in the background to avoid network bottlenecks. Let NovaNET and Virtual Tape keep track of your data, so you don't have to!

Faster Backups

Virtual Tape provides the best of both worlds, the speed of disk and the safety of tape. Virtual Tape gives you the benefit of a super-fast disk backup, minimizing backup windows, and incredibly quick restores, restoring from randomly accessible disk. Users get their data and systems back almost immediately! With Virtual Tape, you can even create real tapes from your virtual tapes, giving you all the benefits of tape for longer term, removable and off-site storage. With each virtual drive added, you increase the backup speed and decrease the backup window.

More Accessible Backups

Virtual Tape is more accessible with configurable options, designed to handle up to 1000 Virtual Tape slots and up to 4 Virtual Tape drives! With Virtual Tape's capability to emulate a tape library, you now have the ability to manage complex backup rotations on any disk or NAS/SAN devices. NovaNET and Virtual Tape will keep track of the data that is backed up so you don't have to. Virtual Tape manages multiple tape magazines in the virtual library - giving you the added flexibility of a larger backup rotation scheme without the added cost of the physical media or media shuffling.

More Reliable Backups

Virtual Tape gives you a way to perform a backup to your dusk or NAS quickly, and even migrate that data to a traditional tape drive or tape library that can be catalogued off-site, while maintaining a disk image of the backup on-site. Easily schedule migration tasks with Windows Task Scheduler to make on and off-site backup truly an automated process. By saving your tape migration scripts, you can use them again and again, for easy migration and batch processing.
