A final test was performed to copy one of the 2.6-GB backup tapes from the virtual tape library onto 
physical tape for offsite vaulting. The following time includes the time to load the physical media into 
the physical tape drive and unload it when the copy is complete. This action is performed by the 
backup server (Storage Data Protector Cell Manager in this example).

All major backup applications support media copy and object copy functionality, and because the 
HP VLS6000 appears to the backup software as a real tape library, it blends seamlessly into the 
process and is able to use these advanced copy features. 

•  Media copy—Copies complete piece of media from one device to another 
•  Object copy—Allows multiple objects from several different backup tapes to be merged onto a 

secondary single piece of media
