Variable Speed Operation
|
|
Variable Speed Operation adjusts the tape speed to match the host transfer
rate in real time, optimizing backup and restore job times without compromising
data integrity or tape drive reliability. Conventional streaming drives must
operate at a constant speed, and when the flow of data to or from the drive is
interrupted, must stop and reposition the tape. This "backhitching" consumes
valuable job time, accelerates media wear, and shortens the life of the mechanism.
