A tape backup library, also known as a tape library or tape automation system, is a data storage solution designed to automate and manage large-scale backups using magnetic tape cartridges. It combines multiple tape drives with robotic mechanisms that can load, unload, and store dozens—or even hundreds—of LTO (Linear Tape-Open) cartridges within a single, secure unit.
Unlike standalone tape drives or smaller autoloaders, tape libraries are built for scalability. They’re ideal for organisations with growing data volumes and strict compliance requirements, offering both long-term storage and fast data retrieval when needed.
Smarter, strategic thinking.
