Backup devices are system peripherals that allow you to write information to, and read information from, backup media. The backup devices currently supported by MPE/iX are:

  • 1/2 inch tape drives

  • DDS drives

  • Magneto-optical drives

  • 3480 compatible drives

  • Disk files

Because only one person can use a backup device at a time, it is your responsibility to monitor backup devices, grant users access to them, and help them load and unload backup media. Chapter 3, "Preparing Storage Devices," describes how to manage backup devices.
