Tape backup unit (optional)

A tape backup unit (TBU) is a data storage device that reads and writes data on a magnetic tape. A TBU has the ability to periodically copy the contents of all or a designated amount of data from its usual storage device to a tape cartridge device so that, in the event that the source get irreparable damaged, the data will not be lost.

The tape backup unit is supported only on 2.5-inch hard drive systems.
