Iomega REV™ SCSI - 
Questions and Answers 
 
 
 
 
 
1.  What backup software is included with the Iomega
®
 REV™ SCSI drives? 
 
The REV™ SCSI drives are bundled with 2 different software packages intended for use 
with desktops and servers. For desktop users, a new version of Iomega
®
 Automatic 
Backup Pro™ is included that adds system level backup to the existing IAB Pro feature 
set. For servers, the SCSI drives include Yosemite TapeWare
®
 for REV™ Drive software. 
Both backup software packages support automated file backup, system imaging and 
restoration, data compression, and spanning of media. 
 
2.  What is included with the Yosemite TapeWare
®
 for REV™ Drive software? 
 
Yosemite TapeWare
®
 for REV™ Drive software provides the same easy file and system 
level backup and restore capability as Iomega
®
 Automatic Backup Pro™, while also 
supporting server level features like backing up RAID configurations, running as a service, 
and optional add-on modules that support open file and active database backups. This 
version of TapeWare includes Yosemite’s “bare metal” disaster recovery module, which 
allows you to backup and restore full system images for a complete disaster recovery 
solution. 
 
3.  What compression can I expect when using the REV™ SCSI drive? 
 
Compression is provided by using the included software, and therefore will vary 
depending on which software package you use. 
The “high” compression setting in 
Iomega
®
 
Automatic Backup Pro™ provides 2.6:1 compression, which allows up to 90GB per disk; 
Yosemite TapeWare
®
 for REV™ Drive users can expect 
2:1 compression for up to 70GB of 
data per REV™ disk. 
Keep in mind that actual compression rates will vary and are 
dependent on the files being compressed. 
 
4.  Does the REV™ SCSI drive work with multiple SCSI devices? 
 
The REV™ SCSI External drive includes two offset 68-pin VHDCI connectors to allow 
chaining of multiple SCSI devices. An offset terminator is included in the box.
