Requirement
s
If you wish to
copy data from the HP D2D Backup System to a tape drive connected to the host machine,
you need:
• A separate tape device, such as an HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460 or 4 48 tape drive, that can
be connecte
d directly to your host.
• A backup application, running on the host, that allows you to copy data from the cartridge on
your HP D2D Backup System to the physical cartridge.
NOTE:
It is not po
ssible to export and import data using this method. Export and import are only
supported on tape drives that are connected directly to the HP D2D Backup System. See
“Export, import and copy to an attached tape drive”onpage83
Tape drives supported
The H P StorageWorks Ultrium 448 or 460 tape drive is the ideal device for all copying processes
because the physical cartridge size matches the maximum con figured cartridge size on the HP D2D
Backup System. However, by spanning across several tapes, you can also use a tape drive with a lower
capacity, such as a n HP StorageWo rks DAT 72 tape drive. If your backup application will n ot allow you
to span tapes, you may want to use the Web Ma n agem ent Interface to reduce the maximum configured
cartridge size on the HP D2D Backup System. However, you must do this when you firstcreatethe
autoloader or additional slots and b efore you have used the autoloader in any way with your backup
application. See “To edit maximum size” on page 70.
NOTE:

This process is controlled by the backup application. For example, H P StorageWorks Data Protector
Express calls it a Copy job.
