The archiving feature supports tape drives and autoloader systems (D2D2T). Because various tape drives and autoloaders behave in different ways, the Unitrends system is designed with configuration options that maintain compatibility across a range of products.
Unitrends supports D2D2T archiving to tape from select Unitrends backup systems. For supported Recovery-Series systems, see these Unitrends Appliance Family Data Sheets:
• Recovery-Series Rackmount Appliance Family Data Sheet
• Recovery-Series Desktop Appliance Family Data Sheet
For UEB systems, the tape device must be SCSI and the UEB VM must be running on ESX(i) 4.1, due to limitations in VMware. Tape archiving is not supported on UEB on Hyper-V systems.
For instructions on setting up tape archiving, see the chapter Archiving to Tape.
