3.8 Backing up to tape libraries and tape drives
A tape library is a high-capacity storage device consisting of one or more tape drives and
a loader that automatically selects and loads multiple tape cartridges. Tape libraries with
only one drive and loader are known as autoloaders.
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server supports tape libraries, autoloaders, and SCSI
tape drives as storage devices.
Tape libraries, autoloaders and tape drives are accessible through the Acronis Backup
Server. Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local version can access tape drives
only. The following diagram illustrates ways of access to tape devices for networks with
(I) and without (II) backup server.

The devices must be locally attached to the servers. The devices attached to the Backup
Server must work through Windows Removable Storage Management (RSM). Locally
attached devices do not require RSM.
The following operations are available for backups stored on tape devices:
Validation
data recovery
converting an image to virtual disk.
Limitations
Devices that use the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) are not supported.
Consolidation, mounting or exploring backups stored on tape devices is not supported.
Tapes created by a tape device attached to the Backup Server are not compatible with
tapes created by a locally attached tape device
All backups stored on one tape must be of the same backup type - either image backups,
or file-level backups, performing an image backup on the tape containing a file-level
backup also is not supported.
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server does not support tape devices when working
in preinstallation environment such as Win PE or Bart PE.
