Tape Library Logical Drive, use with two backup software

Question

Hi, We have one TL2000 tape library with 2 drives. We have already been using it with Veeam backup. Now, we want to use with another backup software too at same time. I have read before this process can be done by creating logical drive but i wonder about my data in the cartridges. Can i make logical drive or any other solution to use another backup application same time without losing my data? Thanks Metin

Hello Metin,

What you can do is to partition your TL2000 into 2 libraries. Here is the link to the user’s guide and if you look on page 25 it explains about partitioning the library. https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/common/powervault_tl2000_tl4000_usersguide3en-us.pdf

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
