2-6 Dell PowerVault SAN Administrator’sGuide
PowerVault 130T Library and 120T Autoloader
The PowerVault 130T library is a compact, tape-based, HVD SCSI-2 storage sub-
system for data backup and restore for one or more servers and disk storage
subsystems. Referred to as a tape library, the PowerVault 130T features high capacity,
high throughput, data compression, automated backup capability, and reliable, accu-
rate data restore functions.
The PowerVault 120T DLT4000 and DLT7000 autoloaders are fully automated, seven-
tape, random-access tape autoloaders that are designed to be more effective network
backup solutions than manually operated stand-alone tape drives.
