Manage Unlimited Externalized Cartridges

When offline files are accessed, the system prompts with email alerts and on-screen notifications, identifying the cartridge that should be imported back into the system.

Partial Restore Capable  

Allows a clip to be restored from LTO without need to restore the whole file.

LTFS Prevents Vendor Lock-In

LTO cartridges are written in either the exchange LTFS format or the open standard TAR format.

The use of a standard format prevents vendor lock-in – proprietary formats make it very costly to ever switch to another vendor.
