Software description

The IBM 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive includes trial-version backup application CDs. These CDs contain popular backup and restore applications for Microsoft® Windows NT®, Novell NetWare, and other operating systems. You can install the application you choose for your computer system by following the installation instructions that come with the CD you select. However, these trial versions of the software expire after 30 to 90 days, depending on the application you use.

You can use the trial period to determine the best application for your specific computer configuration. For information on purchasing a permanent installation copy of the desired tape drive backup application, go to the IBM tape drive Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/solutions/accessories/tapedrives.html and follow the software links. The CDs also contain backup applications that are used with other products but are not applicable to the 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive. Supported tape drive configurations can be found on the IBM Server Compatibility Web page at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat
