User Guide: XenData X1500 LTO-5 Archive System
6
Using familiar Windows Explorer functionality, the software gives an option to copy only files that have
changed or are new.
The system supports all file types, including non-video files. It maintains file and folder structures, which
allows the transfer of nested folder structures to and from LTO tapes.
1.4 Offline File Management
The X1500 system can manage a large offline LTO tape archive as the file and folder structure stored on all
tapes that have ever been inserted into the LTO tape drive may be retained. You can browse the contents
of offline tapes using Windows Explorer and should you need to restore one or more files or folders, the
system will prompt with the name of the offline tape.
The software includes a report generator which is useful for managing the archive. Options include File
Search reports that produce a list of files which meet user-defined file search criteria and identify the LTO
cartridge that contains each match. A Tape Contents report is also available which produces a list of files
contained on any LTO cartridge including offline tapes.
