Overview

Data backup is essential to protect irreplaceable information. Backing up data to magnetic tape is an easy, cost-efficient method used by many small and medium businesses. However, most enterprises have so much data that a single backup tape is not enough; the information has to be spread across numerous tapes. To avoid constantly changing tapes manually, many tape backup systems include a Quantum SuperLoader 3 autoloader. Each autoloader is a robot that includes a tape drive and one or two magazines for tape cartridges. The user's application can automatically load and unload tape cartridges as required for data backup or data retrieval. Quantum SuperLoader 3 autoloaders provide a compact, high capacity, but low cost method for simple, unattended data backup. The Quantum SuperLoader 3 contains a Quantum DLT-V4 tape drive, a Quantum LTO-2 half-height tape drive, a Quantum LTO-3 tape drive, a Quantum VS160 tape drive, or a Quantum SDLT600 tape drive, and one or two magazines containing up to eight cartridges each. A single cartridge can be inserted directly via a password-protected mailslot. From the mailslot, the cartridge can be inserted into the tape drive provided there is no cartridge already in the drive, or you can load the cartridge into a magazine slot provided there is no cartridge already in the slot. The front panel on the autoloader includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and four function keys. A scrolling menu on the LCD screen allows you to obtain information from the autoloader and enter commands. The front panel also includes two light emitting diodes (LEDs) indicating the autoloader's ready status and error status. The Quantum SuperLoader 3 connects to your host server via a SCSI connection allowing the host to send data and commands automatically.
