    Introduction The Virtual Library System (VLS) is designed for high-capacity, near and off-line storage applications, backup, hierarchical storage management (HSM), and video/design/data file libraries. For the most part, installation is simply a matter of checking all necessary SCSI connections, installing the software (backup or otherwise) and applying power.
