TM Series - Tape Mirroring

Solutions include: real time tape mirroring, real time data replication, tape mirrroring for UNIX, Windows, Linux, Netware, Mac; Formats include: LTO mirroring, DLT mirroring, SDLT mirroring, AIT mirroring... Multiple Tape Autoloader mirroring, Single Tape library mirroring, Multiple Tape library mirroring.

Create Mirrored Data Sets In the Time It Takes To Generate A Single Copy! Each tape drive in the array operates as if it was directly attached to the host system with increased reliability and flexibility. The tape mirroring feature ensures the copy of your backup is "Exact". Now you can get your backups done on time and have a 2nd copy created for offsite storage.

  • Designed for Disaster Recovery Applications
  • Platform independent - Windows 2000/NT/XP, Unix, Novell, etc.
  • True 100% software transparency
  • No special drivers required
  • Plug-n-Play compatibility
  • No system overhead


  • Single tape mirroring solution - One-to-One

    SDLT Tape Duplication System

    The TM Series consists of the TM1, TMSH, TM2 and TM3 tape mirroring systems. Each system enhances existing tape technologies by increasing backup/restore fault tolerance.

    The TM Series, which are supported on ALL Operating Systems, create multiple copies of your data in the time it takes to make a single copy.
