Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape (D2D2T) Backup Capabilities
The REO Appliance is a storage resource used by a single backup server
or shared by multiple backup servers using an Ethernet or FC network.
By using standard backup software, you can copy backup data that
resides on the REO Appliance to tape for long-term data retention.
The following illustration shows application servers sending backup data
over a 10/100 or Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) LAN to backup servers sharing
REO Appliance D2D storage over GbE or FC.
In addition to being part of the LAN, the backup servers, and the REO
Appliance are part of the GbE backup SAN.
