  8 mm backup format at AllExperts
The 8 mm Backup Format is a backup system used in computer systems pioneered by Exabyte Corporation.
The tapes used are very similar in size and appearance to the tapes used in 8 mm video recorders and camcorders.

 Unix Backup software
Additionally, Backup Professional, uses two channels for each connection, one is for data and is optimized for high-speed reliable transfer, while the other one is for control such as the server and client process communicating with one another.
Backup Professional keeps tracks of tapes inside the auto-changer and if you need to restore a file residing on a tape housed in the auto-changer, Backup Professional automatically retrieves the tape from the proper slot, loads it in the tape drive, restores the data and puts the tape back into its previous slot.
This means that the old backups are retired, a fresh tape label is written to the tape (using the same tape number) and the tape is used again as if it were a fresh tape.

 Commands Reference, Volume 4 - restore Command
If an archive, created using the backup command, is made to a tape device with the device block size set to 0, it may be necessary for you to have explicit knowledge of the block size that was used when the tape was created in order to restore from the tape.
For backups done by name, specifies the number of 512-byte blocks; for backups done by i-node, specifies the number of 1024-byte blocks to read in a single output operation.
If the backup continues onto subsequent volumes and the file has not been restored, the restore command instructs you to insert the next volume until the end of the backup is reached.

 Network Tape Backup: Finding the Ideal Solution
QIC Format: TheIndustryWorkhorse While an increasing number of users are converting to DAT (digital audio tape) and 8mm helical scan systems, quarter-inch cartridge (QIC)-format tape systems continue to be a strong and versatile industry standard for networks ranging from two-node PC LANs to global enterprise networks.
The format offers excellent versatility and is being used in a range of applications, including fixed disk backup, long-term archival data storage, disk image storage and retrieval, and distributed data backup and management.
For larger network backup applications, robotic 4mm and 8mm cartridge libraries (commonly called autoloaders) are available that boost storage capacities to 20GB and beyond.

 How to schedule unattended backups by using a stand-alone tape library
This makes unattended backups possible because RSM loads the correct tape and either overwrites or appends to the tape, depending on the backup options that you select.
This method is easier to implement, but the backup may overwrite critical data if the correct tape is not in the tape drive before you start the scheduled backup.
You also need to use Ntbackup to build the backup command line string to be used in the batch files if scheduling outside of the backup scheduler.
