thedanimal Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I have a couple of AIT tapes that I have backed up from my Windows 2003 Server using a Sony AIT firewire drive on a G5 Imac. Back ups work great and have no issues restoring files as needed. I want to duplicate my precious tapes to store off site but when I go to do a duplicate tape function.. I can't select my AIT tape drive with loaded tape as my source. Anyone know if this is correct or is there another way I should be doing this? thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 What exactly is the procedure you're trying to follow? Are you aware that Retrospect requires two drives to transfer from tape to tape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieloten Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 So AIT tape duplication is possible with Retrospect so long as you have at least two tape drives? My customer is actually using EMC Retrospect for Windows 7.5, rather than the OSX version, I hope this facility has been carried over to the Windows version.

Mayoff Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 The Windows version has very advanced transfer features, much more then the Mac. You will need 2 tape drives. http://www.emcinsignia.com/assets/wp_d2d2t_en.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieloten Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thank you for your reply, Mayoff. That's quite a different solution you've suggested, rather than simply duplicating tapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
