KERNSAFE - iSCSI SAN Software and Storage Virtualization

This white paper shows how to perform a remote backup using tape device with iStorage Server. Except for showing how to perform backup, you will see how to restore and view data on a tape device. Direct reason for using tape device as a backup medium with iStorage Server is lowering operation costs. For example if you have 3 servers and would like to perform a backup on each one of them, you would need to purchase special hardware for everyone of them. But thanks to iStorage Server you can connect tape device to one server that is running Windows operating system and share that device as a iSCSI Target to other servers. Whole process is very easy and straight forward.
