Tape Library Installations

The Arcserve Backup base product includes support for single-drive tape libraries. If you are using a tape library with more than one drive, a separately installed Tape Library Option is required, and you must license it on each Arcserve Backup primary server or Arcserve Backup stand-alone server with an attached multiple drive library.

Arcserve Backup automatically configures libraries for you the first time the Tape Engine starts.

To perform Tape RAID operations in your environment, you must license the Tape Library Option. After you license the option, you can set up your Tape RAID devices by running Device Configuration on a primary server or member with locally attached Tape RAID devices. For more information, see the Tape Library Option Guide.
