M4 Data

M490L

 

 

 

Features
The need for robust, fast, high-capacity backup designed for mission-critical data has never been stronger. With the advent of the M490L Autolibrary, you can now have easy, automatic access to 15 standard 1/2 inch data cartridges, providing all the benefits of true mainframe-class backup and hierarchical data storage management
(HSM) at entry-level prices and in desktop space.

Utilizing twin 7-cartridge magazines, the M490L allows operators to easily handle many cartridges at once. The 15th slot can be used for "priority" jobs or a cleaning cartridge.

The M490L currently houses one M490E cartridge unit, and coming in 1996 is a two drive version, ideal for Disaster Recovery planning where dual backup sets can be created simultaneously, one for offsite safekeeping and the second for on-site file recovery.
