Safe Guarded Tape (SGT)
Tape is dead. Really? In the times of ransomware and other malfunction software the need for a real air-gap is very important. We offer new tape tools for the IBM libraries TS3500, TS4500 and Diamondback with useful add-ons.
Our tool eXstor Tape Vault version 1.2 deliver a safe guarded tape feature for supported libraries. With TSM or other backup tools such as Veeam, Commvault etc. it is possible to use a virtual vault as one additional protection feature.
