DPX is designed with comprehensive tape library support in mind.
Before using a tape library, you must set up the tape library.Tape library setup involves two major procedures, installation and configuration. Each of these procedures is described below.
Tape Library installation entails creating the media changer device file needed to enable communication between DPX and the tape library media changer.
Tape Library configuration entails defining the tape library properties so DPX can back up to and restore from media (tapes) accessible to the tape library.
Warning! DPX support for some of the documented operating systems has been discontinued.
