Overview
The HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System is an iSCSI disk-based storage appliance that emulates up
to six tape devices, which can be used to back up host network servers or PCs. Each tape device
is configured as an Ultrium Tape Library or Autoloader. An emulation type is selected during initial
configuration and this determines the maximum number of slots that may be configured for the device.
The default configuration emulates the HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Ultrium Tape Autoloader.
