This small enclosure, which sits comfortably on a desk or fits conveniently in a rack, allows users to automate their system backup and spend valuable time on other tasks. Each data packet is uniquely addressed and can be read in any sequence. Initiating multiple scans, the VXA-1 drive reads each packet independent of track shape or geometry. The AutoPak robotics were designed with an intelligent picker that increases reliability by using only two motors. This simple, yet elegant design results in increased reliability while reducing manufacturing costs.
Media management is simplified with a removable cartridge holder that includes a dust cover.
The cover attaches to the back of the unit before installation, which ensures that users won't misplace the cover when removing media from the AutoPak or when moving it to an offsite location. To provide greater functionality, redundancy and increased data throughput, the VXA AutoPak can be upgraded by simply installing a second VXA-1 tape drive. A barcode reader that is compatible with backup software can also be added, which further increases efficiency and improves media and data file management. Both of these options can be ordered separately.
