Hardware

Z-TapeBackup supports all major tape drives and connections (USB, S-ATA, SCSI, SAS, IDE).

The following tape drive technologies have been tested with Z-TapeBackup:

Tape drives are controlled using the ASPI- and SPTI- programming interfaces.

The tape drive has to be recognised by Windows and displayed in the device manager. You can use the freeware version to check if Z-TapeBackup works correctly with your setup.

Tape Library

Z-TapeBackup Library can control tape libraries and autoloader.

This allows you to load the right tape automatically on scheduled backup tasks.

Z-DBackup + Z-TapeBackup

Z-TapeBackup can be used as a stand-alone program or as an add-on for Z-DBackup.

Z-DBackup is our main backup program offering extensive options for professional backups.

Various backup strategies for tape backups can be realised when using Z-DBackup and Z-TapeBackup together. They are the perfect duo for fully automatised backups in enterprises.

Backup tasks for tape drives can be created and fully managed from within Z-DBackup.

Direct Tape Backup

The files are copied directly onto tape. This is the same way Z-TapeBackup as a stand-alone program works.

Multispanning

If a backup is to big for a single tape Z-DBackup can split up the backup onto up to 10 tapes.

Indirect Tape Backup

The files to backup are backed up to a different location first, e.g. as an encrypted backup archive on a network drive. Afterwards the created backup archive will be copied onto tape.

System Image Backup

Z-DBackup can create a system image backup of your whole Windows partition (and any further partitions/drives) and copy it onto tape. To restore your system the image has to be copied from tape to a hard drive first before Windows can restore your computer from the system image.
