– Reports what was saved, volume usage, and errors

• Track all volume usage (physical or virtual)– No manual tracking, includes ad hoc saves!

• Tape integrity across entire data center– Active volumes cannot be compromised

– Tape location can be tracked automatically

– Centralized scratch pool is maintained

• Restricted state saves = automated!• Skips over and reports bad tapes

– Active files, write-protected, or media errors

• Software encryption built-in (AES standard)
