Z-DATdump can copy complete folders, automatically or with a schedule, for transport, copy, or archiving to
tape drives. That means fast and automatic data storage to: TRAVAN, SLR, MLR, QIC, LTO, Ultrium, AIT, DLT, VXA, DAT, or DDS tape drives with a SCSI, IDE, USB, or S-ATA port.
Z-TapeLoader
Autoloader Software
The add-on module Z-TapeLoader is used with Z-DATdump and Z-DBackup to enhance their functionality for controlling media changers, superloaders, autoloaders, tape changers and tape libraries. This allows automatical selection and loading of the correct tapes for your daily backups. This add-on module is already contained in a normal Z-DATdump installation and is recognized and used automatically.
If the
tape software is used without Z-DBackup, you still have the possibility to load a certain tape with the one-click backup option or during a scheduled automatic backup. The one-click backup option means that Z-DATdump can create a desktop shortcut which run a backup with specific settings.
Z-TapeLoader is shareware and is automatically installed together with recent versions of Z-DATdump. After the trial period of 14 days has expired, the program can be used as freeware for personal use with some restrictions.
The free standard version (Freeware Version) of Z-DATdump can copy at most 12 GB per backup! This is usually quite enough for private use, as Z-DBackup features a very strong compression.
