Guide
Introduction
StarWind Software Inc. StarWind allows you to create Virtual Tape Devicesand Tape Libraries based on hard disk storage. A Virtual Tape Device is aspecial hard drive file that’s been made available to your network. It isnormally used for file backup and recovery proposes. By enabling virtualized hard drive space as a Tape Device, Backup Managersare able to integrate VTLs with existing backup software and current backupand recovery processes and procedures. It also has the “backup to disk”functionality that many older backup software solutions do not support. Thisprevents unnecessary and costly backup software upgrades. Starwinds VTL solution allows Backup Managers to store backup data oninexpensive PATA and SATA hard drive systems, instead of having to useexpensive tapes and tape drive systems. And by backing up your data to diskinstead of tapes, VTLs will most often increase performance for both backupand restore operations. Scalability is increased by using RAID array enclosuresto host and store your VTLs, by allowing adding more hard drives and/orenclosures to increase overall storage capacity.
