Description
If it is supported by your backup application, this is the preferred emulation type because it
does not emulate any physical library types in existence and is, therefore, clearly identifiable
as a StoreOnce device. It is the most flexible emulation type available; however, backup
application support varies by software vendor.
If you have selected D2DBS Generic for the Library Emulation Type, you will be able to
select Ultrium VT for the drive emulation. This is a generic Ultrium device which is clearly
identifiable as virtual. Backup application support for Ultrium VT is reasonable, but not quite
as complete as the D2DBS library type, so its not possible to use it with all backup software.
NOTE: Symantec prefer their customers to use this emulation type with BackupExec and
Netbackup.
This is a tape library device with a maximum of two embedded Ultrium tape drives and 24
cartridge slots. It should be used when implementing rotation schemes which involve
simultaneous backup jobs to two devices. This emulation type is widely supported by backup
applications.
This is a tape library device with a maximum of four embedded Ultrium tape drives and 48
cartridge slots. It should be used when implementing rotation schemes which involve
simultaneous backup jobs to more than two devices or those that use a large number of
cartridges devices. This emulation type is widely supported by backup applications.
