Designed to simplify effective disaster recovery for
Open Systems large environments, StorageTek® Tape
Mirroring software creates a simultaneous second
tape copy of critical data as it’s being backed up.
The process simplifies and automates the tape
replication process, cutting the time, cost and risk
involved in creating copies of business data. The
software is an ideal solution when combined with
StorageTek® StorageNet® 6000 (SN6000) storage domain
manager and Virtual Transport Manager software. |

Applications |
Disaster recovery
Tape Mirroring software, when implemented with
the SN6000 and Virtual Transport Manager
software, automatically replicates tapes at one
or multiple locations, reducing management costs
and risks. |
Backup and restore
Tape Mirroring software works with SN6000 and
Virtual Transport Manager (VTM) software to
improve backup and restore reliability by
creating two redundant copies of every backup. |

Benefits |
Customized solutions
Tape mirroring allows customers to tailor unique
solutions to fit their individual data
protection demands. It is ideal for creating
simultaneous copies of vital data in UNIX and
Windows environments. |
Fast
and safe
This solution is much faster than the
traditional method of cloning a copy after the
original has been created. Mirrored tape
solutions offer a secure alternative to provide
multiple tape copies simultaneously. |
Flawless backup
Tape mirroring becomes a simple procedure and
eliminates the risk of data loss from
tape-to-tape copies. It reduces the I/O load on
servers by nearly 70 percent. |

Features |
Built-in reliability
Tape Mirroring software increases layers of
reliability, for successful backups and restores
with no impact on your backup window.
Restoration is possible from either tape copy
without server implementation. Data is resilient
to errors on both backups and restores. |
Server friendly
Tape is replicated independent of the backup
application, so the server load is not
increased. It also allows transparent access to
two physical tape volumes without impacting
servers or applications. |
