Backup software

You need a backup application that supports the HP Surestore DLT1 drive. A TapeWare CD-ROM containing backup software by Yosemite Technologies is supplied with your tape drive.

As a general rule, native backup applications (such as NTBackup and tar) do not provide the data streaming rate required to support the full performance of your HP Surestore DLT1 tape drive. We recommend using a backup application that can provide the required data streaming rate as well as other useful features, such as TapeAlert. Computer Associates, HP, Veritas and Legato all provide suitable products that have been tested with HP Surestore drives. For the latest list of backup applications that support HP Surestore DLT1, please consult our World Wide Web site

(www.hp.com/go/connect).

Applications usually recognize tape drives by their manufacturers’ internal identifiers rather than their model numbers, so check the table below for the appropriate reference for your model.
