To take advantage of the DX3000/DX5000 system speed and reliability
and still have the safety of off-site storage, Quantum recommends
exporting the data from the DX3000/DX5000 system to an automated
tape library (see
figure 9
). This configuration still allows fast backup and
restores as well as the saftey of off-site backups on tape cartridges.
Storage management software applications often refer to this operation as
“cloning” or “vaulting.” Check with your software supplier for
information on enabling this feature.
